1:30:45 Chapter Conclusion and Start of Q&A
1:31:52 I wonder how a 4-Dimensional CA looks like. Maybe something to experiment. Make a slice of a 4D CA onto 3D.
1:32:55 Has anybody tried fractional-dimensional Turing machines?
1:34:00 Hello. I'm thinking building a reservoir computing machine with cellular automata as a reservoir. I have seen it with one dimensional automata but not in 2 dimensions
1:34:20 Do you think it is possible to make a 2D Cellular Automaton of some sorts that can emulate the Mandelbrot or Julia set and zoom infinitely into some region by applying some finite rules?
1:34:55 Do you think a quantum computer could possibly be better suited to run multicomputation?
1:35:20 have you tried to make a tiling pattern to generate ECA rule 30? Do you think its possible? and what can you do with that or what are tiling patterns useful for?
1:35:40 Why is there focus on tiles that completely fill the plane?
01:36:32 Is being able to experience different multiway systems akin to being able to solve NP problems in polynomial time? Ie, is our perception such that we can only perceive one branch of time, thus unable to solve NP complete problems? Why is this the case?
1:38:38 Is it possible to derive Rule 30 by setting a particular set of boundary conditions?
1:40:00 Do you also explore 3D tile shapes?
1:41:02 Farewell Comments
