- What is computation? Turing: Starts with a set of elements and logical operations, expands to systems & structures
- Wolfram: cellular automata: Simple rules KISS can generate complexity → Game of life → the computational universe (life = game → everything can be reduced to rulesets & gamification
- Is it just a metaphor that is becoming the reality or was it always in the (eco)system
- Network centric warfare
- Digital philosophy :world is digital instead of analog
