Now that we have an intuition of emergence, let us give ourselves the words to think it. A toolkit for understanding the hidden grammar of complexity.
AI and Emergent Complexity
The grand finale of our journey. Having explored nature and our own minds, let us apply our new tools to AI and see beyond the "stochastic parrot."
