Ruliad

The ruliad is Stephen Wolfram’s name for the entangled limit of everything computationally possible: the (single) mathematical object you get by running all possible rules in all possible ways and taking their combined multi-way evolution as one structure. In his view, our universe and our experiences of it are just a particular slice or coarse-graining of that universal computational object. 1
