A pointer to Stephen Wolfram's classic A New Kind of Science, available to read online in full.
The book argues that the complexity observed in nature can emerge from simple computational rules rather than traditional equations, covering simple programs, randomness, the principle of computational equivalence, and fundamental physics.
Worth a systematic read for anyone interested in complexity science and the computational foundations behind AI.
