Oh that's a typo, and I have never read the Many Forking Paths.

It is a very good one, quoted by Everett, if I remember well.
I think Liz thought on "Tlon Uqbar Orbid Tertius. The first novel in "Fiction", which contains the Forking Path novel.
I like most novels in Fiction. Borgess is great.

I meant of course "Tlon Uqbar Orbis Tertius". Orbid is a typo. Orbis was the term which started this litlle sub-thread.

Sorry.

Bruno

PS There might be "¨" on the "o" of Tlon (Tlön). Not entirely sure of the spelling. All that from personal memory, directly accessible from my organic memories, as the book itself seems to be in some box zmong boxes, I hope!

It was funny how philosophers like Borges (a novelist), David Lewis, and Hugh Everett the 3rd got to the same conclusion. All about the same time.

Does anyone know any phenomena in nature or science that duplicates the behavior of Cellular Automata? Does cell biology do the tasks of CA, orbis this merely, a mathematical abstraction? Does anything in physics come to mind, when refering to CA?

I think some chemical reactions are similar?

(By the way I love the "orbis" - immediately made me think of Borges - but I'm guessing it was just a typo :)
