Forget clockwork analogies; our brains are closer to a system of canals and locks, with signals traveling like water from one state to another. As I sit here typing, I’m actually seeking equilibrium states in an n-dimensional topology of gradients. Take just one: heat. My body t...
process that raised as many questions as it answered, as something we could learn from. The second high-point was a couple named David and Leah Zimmerman. Though Mishmar Hasharon, like other kibbutzim, was secular, they introduced us to the Talmud, the ancient compendium of rabb...

“The early simulations,” Baran recalled, “showed that after the hypothetical network was 50% instantly destroyed, the surviving pieces of the network reconstituted themselves within a half a second.” That was a way of saying that his messages were finding new routes on the networ...
In analog computing, complexity resides in network topology, not in code. Information is processed as continuous functions of values such as voltage and relative pulse frequency rather than by logical operations on discrete strings of bits. Digital computing, intolerant of error...
doing because we designed the algorithms at their heart. So when our computers generate a result, we feel that we intellectually grasp it. The new machine-learning programs are different. Having recognized patterns via deep neural networks, they come up with conclusions, and we...
might sound like a risk, human understanding comes with its own limits; engineering design is littered with what appeared to be good insights that have had bad consequences. Declarative design rests on all the advances in AI, plus the improving fidelity of simulations to virtuall...
