    I was thinking the exact same thing - I think it is why I love him so much. His physics works exactly like his thinking process, it is a branching, multiway path with leaves and flowers you have to know to get the context, so he keeps jumping. It is fascinating to watch in real time. He gets so excited too! Just such an amazing human.

    A gem! Thank you, Lex and Stephen! I hear rumors that things are no long great. We live in beautiful times. We need only to know where to look. Thank you, gentlemen. That being said, I have some questions... 0:34 "Quantum physics says there's this whole set of paths of things that might happen and we're just observing some overall probabilities of how those paths works." So we have quantum particles moving through time into new quantum states. This is graphed. Particle looks like 'this' and has a likelihood of turning into 'that'. This changing of states is visually shown in a multi-wave graph. The "traveling/changing" from one state to the next can be observed? These travelings/chages are the branches and the nodes are the new states? Branchell space is a cut section of these quantum states shifting over time? This cut section of shifting quantum states has lagrangian density and causes deflection of geodesics? ... Does not compute. I should've kept curious in math. If I'd only seen this while in high school. Have Stephen Wolfram on again, Lex!! 19:50 find the beauty in your world. We live in amazing times. Stay curious and stay humble.

    The geodesics in GR are related to paths particles in motion will follow through spacetime. I understood the branchial space to be more of a graph of the space within which quantum states exist, with nodes and branches. How does "deflection" impact the informational content of a graph? The path length in a space-time is a quantifiable and measurable thing. Wolfram is saying that the Feynman path integral quantifies the deflection but how do you measure the length in a graph of a state space? Why does it matter?

Could this be quantifiable evidence of currently unperceivable dimensions beyond 3D? Can someone clarify for me? Cheers👍

    I have always thought that quantum mechanics may be the description of particles interacting on a hyper temporal dimension. These hyper temporal interactions lead to a progression of time that is dynamic rather than linear. Meaning that interactions that occur in the future can affect the past/alter the structure of a branchial plane. This ultimately leads to interactions that can appear impossible from the perspective of our 4 dimensional existence. For example something like quantum entanglement. Due to the transfer of information from the future to the past through a hyper temporal dimension. Apologies if this is complete crap trying to explain an idea I have but quantum mechanics is not my area.

    It makes sense that branchial space and exponential dimensions.

    I wonder what a multiway graph would look like and play like with sudoku. If tick tack toe has been done now maybe in time we will fast be able to find merges for sudoku the big question would be what if any sort of a big O speed up might be found. 4 by 4 sudoku should be easyish it would be nice to map how computational hardness in sudoku works this might be a good step towards that. One way to view a bit better a quantum environment is to map force with multi sourced vectors basically vector graphs that have multiple vectors coming off each point and you could map the merging and branching of flow using triangular curve maths basically progressing round from one radius length to another radius coming from the same center.

    i have just by myself discovered branch hill space and by accident stumbled on this video. i think my reference frame gets gravitationally attracted towards a greater understanding in branch hill space. for tomorrow i will try to foureir transform the branch hill into physical space to swap reference frame with the other sex because i always follow what appeals to me in the media

    'We need a theory of infinitesimal change in fractional dimensional and dynamic dimensional space.' Extrapolation from this final statement has got my mind tossing... Like, I'm REALLY stuck on it... Cause I am easily visualizing how this branchial space exists, and even how things move in it. Only thing is, I know I'm no where near educated enough to hold the same conceptual understanding of mathematics as a normal mathematician or physicist, so I can't make the connection of how to even start trying to put together a theory of change in what is essentially 'half' of a dimension. That's not a statement of 'Let us divide the answer by 2'! That's a statement of 'The half from our perspective, is the whole to the half dimension perspective'. Also, is the statement of creating a mathematics in dynamic dimensional space, essentially stating that 1 is both larger, and smaller, than 1? Or is the idea of 1 being an integer at all within dynamic space simply absurd? Also, here's the crazy part... Either way... Fractional or Dynamic, we're speaking about fluctuation in some manner of the value of an intensity. IE - 1/45th Dimensional Space needs mathematics that work in tandem with mathematics from another 1/45th Dimensional Space that has somehow fluctuated to being twice the value (or half the value) of the original 1/45th dimensional space. I mean, I can visualize how it would work so easily, but creating mathematics for it? WTF! SO MANY QUESTIONS! These two seem even weirder, when you realize that the statement is metaphorically 'Trying to divide the coin in two'.

    Fractional space is used in fractals. In a sense, Wolfram’s saying we need a calculus for spaces whose dimensions change continuously with time. Right now, most people’s intuition about dimensions is a spatial one. I assume yours is too. So what if you can vary the amount of dimensions of a space continuously? Well, one generalization of spatial dimensions to fractional values is the Hausdorff dimension of a fractal. Most fractals don’t live in an integer amount of dimensions, rather in fractional ones. Here is a list of fractals by their Hausdorff dimensions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fractals_by_Hausdorff_dimension Now why does he say this? I think this has something to do with the Hilbert space. Very loosely, the Hilbert space is a space has infinite dimensions but the between any two points is 1. It is used in quantum mechanics to represent probabilities. Why do you need infinite dimensions? Because there are infinite possibilities, and the probabilities of every single one of those must add up to 1. But since General Relativity only has 4 dimensions, one would need a way to generalize that to infinite dimensions. To be fair, dimensionality’s not the only problem. Quantum Field Theory and General Relativity have the following differences: In Quantum Field theory spacetime is discrete, whereas spacetime in General Relativity is continuous. In Quantum Field theory, spacetime is cannot be changed, whereas in General Relativity, spacetime can deform continuously (in fact that’s the whole point) Quantum Field Theory is all about probabilities, whereas General Relativity is about deformation.

    Perfect way to think of differences between reality’s spaces is to imagine relativistic space as watching a wick laying on it’s side as it burns. While bronchial space would be watching the wick from head on or from top down, so all you see is the fire burning. Both views describe the same reality at the same time but the energy transfer of burning provides the head on view a looser coupling in relativistic space and a greater quantum existence laying deeper in bronchial path space. And possibly also requiring a transitory locality in temporal space as the depression of quantum state collapse as traversal across the relativistic space exist as temporal location coordinates represented by fluctuations between relational vector computation entanglement To the Ruliard moving through reality as from quantum to deterministic existence as a parallax of a hyper graph on a temporal hyper sphere equivalent to moving from one location to another location in relativistic space, which describes the same existence we experience. 🤯

    Correct me if I am wrong. Assuming the universe began as one possibility (singularity) that branches into a multi way nodes and Wolfram concept that there is a collapse for each branch then the universe is finite and will end as it began and then begin again. Correct me if I'm wrong... I think the universe is part of a quantum computer processing branchial computations and then collapsing to generate the result to the algorithm being processed. My head is spinning.

    Wow so calculus is just a stepping stone to the hopefully eventual discovery of the mathematics of the dynamics of infinitesimal fractional dimensions. Sounds like something that might be able to resolve pi, and maybe even the structure of the voxels of space-time itself.

    Great talk and terrific series Lex, I've been working on my own hypothesis in the last 5 years, I called QEKD, It's base on the SM and naturally unifies forces and solve the conflict between QM & GR. The hypothesis accurately explains the features of QM, including the observer effect in a much more simple and deterministic way. It contains also the "elementary computational rule". I've been trying to get Wolfram attention in the comments sections and sent one email (03/08/20) with no reply. The hypergraph model and the holographic principle in string theory have some aspect of reality but the universe is not a hypergraph or a mathematical equation and it's much more beautiful and simpler. Lex, would you consider reviewing the hypothesis and help in the case you find my work interesting? Thank you all.

    Arguably, the 'connection' he's identified between QM and GR hasn't been identified beyond the path integral itself, which should not come off as 'surprising' whatsoever, since the path integral is essential to modeling motion in ANY space - be it Hilbert space, branchial space, 2d physical space, or full 4d GR metric space.
