Computational Universe: Reality as a Space of All Possible Computations

Is the universe a giant computer? Are space, time, and even quantum randomness emergent properties of simple computational rules?
In this week's philosophy discussion, we explore Stephen Wolfram’s provocative idea of the computational universe, where all possible rules run in parallel, creating a vast structure known as the Ruliad. This "rulial space" contains every conceivable computation—and our experience of reality is simply a slice of this space, shaped by our own computational limitations.
We’ll discuss:

• What is the Ruliad and ruliology?
• How observers define what counts as "real" in a multiway universe.
• The surprising connections between computation, physics, and consciousness.
• Whether there is a fundamental rule—or if reality is the result of all rules.

No background in Wolfram’s physics is required—just curiosity and a willingness to question the deepest assumptions about time, space, and existence.
Join us for a mind-expanding evening where philosophy meets computation, and where rules, rather than particles or waves, may be the fabric of everything.
