Abstract
Whether or not you agree that Max’s assumptions give rise to his conclusion is your own opinion, but his case is much easier to support in the field of computers—there are certainly patterns everywhere in programming.
11:15 Restate my assumptions:
1. Mathematics is the language of nature.
2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
