"I was thinking of you when I was reading"
Thanks, I guess? I don't know what's going on. Page 11 looks like the usual running with the ideas that were happening at MIT in the 70s. Which is always potentially interesting.
As for Wolfram automata, I was never really into it, because Turing-equivalent or not, Wolfram pushed the idea that they were the solution to everything, and I just always disliked his approach, and I refused to read his 2000 page book back in the 80s, unlike some of my friends.
Wolfram is a brilliant guy, but a lot of what he does rubs me the wrong way.
(Oddly, at one point I kept running into people who knew him because they had been assistants to him then-recently; they were always very intelligent, too, and usually female. Hmm. At a different point, same for Ted Nelson. Memories.)
We all have our tastes, I guess.
