The TAP equation: evaluating combinatorial innovation in Biocosmology

no code implementations24 Apr 2022 Marina Cortês, Stuart A. Kauffman, Andrew R. Liddle, Lee Smolin

We investigate solutions to the TAP equation, a phenomenological implementation of the Theory of the Adjacent Possible.

The Autodidactic Universe

no code implementations29 Mar 2021 Stephon Alexander, William J. Cunningham, Jaron Lanier, Lee Smolin, Stefan Stanojevic, Michael W. Toomey, Dave Wecker

We discover maps that put each of these matrix models in correspondence with both a gauge/gravity theory and a mathematical model of a learning machine, such as a deep recurrent, cyclic neural network.

A naturalist account of the limited, and hence reasonable, effectiveness of mathematics in physics

no code implementations11 Jun 2015 Lee Smolin

The aim of this essay is to propose a conception of mathematics that is fully consonant with naturalism.

Temporal naturalism

1 code implementation31 Oct 2013 Lee Smolin

One version, which I call temporal naturalism, holds that time, in the sense of the succession of present moments, is real, and that laws of nature evolve in that time.

Quantum gravity and the standard model

1 code implementation3 Mar 2006 Sundance O. Bilson-Thompson, Fotini Markopoulou, Lee Smolin

We show that a class of background independent models of quantum spacetime have local excitations that can be mapped to the first generation fermions of the standard model of particle physics.

High Energy Physics - Theory

The fate of black hole singularities and the parameters of the standard models of particle physics and cosmology

1 code implementation7 Apr 1994 Lee Smolin

A cosmological scenario which explains the values of the parameters of the standard models of elementary particle physics and cosmology is discussed.
