Alludes to a subtle limitation of hidden assumption in GOL - global lockstep state allows for sync'd phenomena not available in real world. https://t.co/Rm70aYV5zc

Given our current computer systems, simulating manifold space-time will only ever be an approximation. This is from 2013: https://t.co/mjWjcHDoEh

I totally didn't predict the style of how @Improbableio implemented disjoint world structures in their Actor based scala physics framework. https://t.co/0mhzQb56Rx

I have a note: "[diagram showing interleaving here]"... that would look like AMD's Mantle architecture stack.https://t.co/S8HylKnWVp https://t.co/Ok5VZov1cF

Time Dilation approaches has an interesting feature... you can slow sim down until you can spin up more nodes. https://t.co/zIrz3JeQ6B

Physical metaphors are useful stuff if you want to simulate a planet at mm scale for an ant sim. Go big or go home.https://t.co/WCHso73lEq

If you want to build a brain out of ants and paperclips, you have to build the world around them too.https://t.co/Ps8seXfYIl

Ideas from exploration of ant cognition ends up with cool situations where I go "told you this will work, they're are doing it here"...

I kick-started OUYA primarily b/c I wanted a 5 watt CUDA-capable node to run dist'd GPU algorithms against. Didn't care about games, lol

hey @comma_ai if you need "someone to build and design computers that fit in tiny plastic boxes" you might wanna check out @LogicSupply

Wait, why am I calling "simulating manifold space time"?Because the cap theorem is just too nerdy for me.https://t.co/aEzD0xRwG9

Who needs some fancy CAP theorem when we can derive this stuff from ant based systems anyway?https://t.co/zbeJdG8xDZ

Do what swarms do, when speed is important, act local, When accuracy is important, establish a quorum. https://t.co/OkwNKkJDYH

if we can answer that, it becomes a Curry–Howard correspondence from math->logic->computation->biology->brainshttps://t.co/8Z0aAjDJTC
