Wolfram's Theory Of Everything

By Leo Gura - March 9, 2024

In this interview Wolfram discusses many concepts and issues which I have discussed about the limits of science, Godel’s incompleteness and its implications for epistemology, and so on. It nicely ties together with my work on the limits of science and epistemology.

Wolfram has a pretty good grasp of the limits of science, for a scientist.

The important concepts here are:

  • Computational irreducibility
  • The Ruliad (Infinity)
  • Hyper Ruliad
  • Possibly space of alien minds

The notion of the Hyper Ruliad (timestamp: 51:10) is what’s really profound. This is a correct description of how Infinity works. Infinity is not just a static known object, Infinity has entirely new meta-Infinities within it. The ever-growing horizon of Infinity leads to an endless discovery of new domains and kinds of Infinities. I confirmed this through direct experience. This means there is not just one Awakening, there are higher orders and qualitatively new kinds of Awakening. This is how I discovered Alien Awakening. At timestamp 1:10 2 Wolfram discusses the Rulial space of alien minds. “How big is the space of possible alien minds?” He’s more correct than he knows. I have explored that space and I know some of what is there. So when I talk about Alien Consciousness, I am talking about mind-space that is beyond the human mind-space. It’s a space where the human mind cannot go. The human mind can barely imagine that such a space is possible, nevermind inhabit it. Alien Mind is a hyper/meta Rulial space relative to the human mind. And Alien Spirituality is hyper/meta to human spirituality. So, how big is the space of possible alien minds? It’s very big. But the more important question is, How weird and profound is the space of alien minds? The answer is, very. Alien Mind is so insanely intelligent and mystical that it will make your jaw drop.

In conclusion, what Wolfram calls “The Ruliad” is God or Infinity. But he doesn’t realize it yet.

What Wolfram is really catching onto with his model is the notion of Transcendence. Infinity is a transcendental object, which means you cannot capture it in any container, since all containers are finite constructs of Infinity. This is what Godel’s incompleteness recognized and what most scientists, logicians, mathematicians, rationalists, logical positivists, materialists, and atheists failed to understand. Transcendence has some very profound and weird ramifications which take time to understand and appreciate. Scientists don’t like the notion of transcendence because it seems mystical, non-formalizable, and non-quantitative. But that’s not a bug, that’s a feature. That’s what is necessary for anything at all to exist. A non-transcendental reality is simply impossible. This is the fundamental error at the heart of science and materialism. Slowly, slowly, the most hardcore scientists are being forced into acknowledging the reality of transcendence, which religion has spoken of since the dawn of civilization. This trend will continue for the next 100 years, until all of science acknowledges that the universe they are studying is God. And finally the division between science and religion will be bridged. But, this won’t happen until all of today’s scientists die, because they are too paradigm-locked to build the bridge of which I speak.

For more on Wolfram’s concept of The Ruliad, read his blog post. Wolfram says some profound things about the Ruliad. Especially this:

“This way of talking about the ruliad might make one think that it should be “considered a possible model” for our universe, or for other things. But the bizarre and surprising point is that it is more than that. It’s not just a possible model that might be one of many. Rather, it is the unique ultimate representation of all possible models, entangled together. As we’ve discussed, there are many subtle choices about how we observe the ruliad. But the ultimate ruliad itself is a unique thing, with no choice about what it is. The ruliad is in a sense a representation of all possible necessary truths.”

“One’s first impression might be that the ruliad effectively contains many possible “parallel universes”, and that we have selected ourselves into one of these, perhaps as a result of our particular characteristics. But in fact the ruliad isn’t about “parallel universes”, it’s about universes that are entangled at the finest possible level. And an important consequence of this is that it means we’re not “stuck in a particular parallel universe”. Instead, we can expect that by somehow “changing our point of view”, we can effectively find ourselves in a “different universe”.

This is precisely what God is. TRUTH. All possible truths. This is a notion more profound than theoretical physics or even mathematics. This transcends physics, mathematics, and logic. Another way to say it is that God is every possible way that reality could be seen. Another way to say it is that God is every possible way for dreaming up reality. Or… God is an ocean of Infinite Dreams.

Wolfram is doing good work. If Wolfram’s computational TOE piques your curiosity, I have a good question for you to contemplate: What is computation?

Note: Just so you’re not fooled by Wolfram’s limited scientific thinking, computation is another reductionist trap. Reality is not every possible computation. Reality is every possible mind. Computation is just a tiny figment of Mind. Mind does not reside in computational space, computational space resides in Mind. MIND is what’s supreme.
