my lines
- The computer was just a notebook.
- Arithmetic and mathematics are only a field. Everything you write down, describe, and correct on a notebook.
- A notebook that rewrites itself automatically, by rules.
- A state, and the rule for getting to the next state.
- What you actually do on a notebook is the same: following rules that exist only in your head (i.e. ideas), your hand writes, the eraser erases, you write again. That’s all of it.
- Write and erase. Done.
- Old notebook: only the state on paper, the rules in the person’s head.
- Computer: the state on paper, and the rules on paper too.
- Universal machine
- Dynamics
- Why does software — a program, rules written on paper — work, when its rules differ from reality’s?
- Oracle machines and the Pythagorean theorem
from the AI
[AI] Keep just this one:
read, rewrite, move.
Brainfuck is this and the Turing machine is this. The rest is notation.
