A computing machine (not taking environmental factors like cosmic rays into account (though, why not?)) is deterministic, unless it interfaces with a truly random source of entropy. My physicist friend has said, there may be no randomness,

Please don’t take this as a personal attack. Your comment and certainty sound like religious fanaticism. The belief that consciousness is merely computation is unproven, and a matter of faith. It always seems a little short sighted when peo

At some point the system realized people are prone to failure. It then started deploying itself redundantly without dependence on people. This helped, but the people interfered. To fix this the system started building self replicating physi

Is there an answer to that question? And, why is the distribution of matter not random? Maybe some sort of gravitational grouping? (eg earth's iron core, centrifugal enrichment of uranium). Or affinity for some orientation relative to

SequenceL is translated to C++ (or others). It's especially well-tailored, still, to time-critical and performance optimal multi-core systems. For HPC, no better alternative atm imho

It could be made into a real meta search engine, and you could have layers of searchers, a network of searchers, with a common memory space, and parallelize the whole thing in sequencel, throw it on a vps with a few hundred/thousand co
