June 12, 2023Conversation with Chris Fields and Richard Watson
Working meeting between Chris Fields, Richard Watson, and I where we discuss error correction (and who decides what's an error), quantum aspects generalized to the larger world, decoherence, observers, and Patrick Grim's fascinating work on adding a time dimension to logic to enable contradictions and self-referential paradoxes to be manipulated as fractal structures.
