@stephen_wolfram I think this is brilliant. Amazing how you have linked this problem to your work in ‘A New Kind of Science’ on the systematic exploration of the computational behavior of the mathematical space of simple algorithms. My concern is that you need to make your ideas accessible!

Edward O. Wilson
AdrianWoolfsonAdrianWoolfson

Just competed by review of E.O Wilson’s new book: The Origins of Creativity. It is a strikingly brilliant, and a rallying cry for a radically different approach to the humanities. It is also a bold and remarkable manifesto for the deciphering of the dark matter of human nature.

Seirian Sumner
AdrianWoolfsonAdrianWoolfson

... thought-provoking, joyous and ebullient ... Seirian Sumner’s compelling account of nature’s coherent beauty teaches that it is time for the utilitarian attitude toward nature to be replaced with appreciation and conservation, something long overdue.
