Exploring Multiway Turing Machines as Models for Quantum Mechanics
Multiway Turing Machines (2021 pre-ai)
I have long studied ordinary Turing machines but recently turned my attention to multiway Turing machines, which I see as maximally minimal models for concurrent computing and quantum mechanics. By exploring simple rules in these systems, I discovered surprising complexities and branching structures that mirror the evolution of quantum states. This work investigates how even the simplest multiway rules can generate intricate behaviors, offering new insights into the computational universe and the foundations of physics.
As I have found so often in the computational universe, even cases with some of the very simplest possible rules yield some significant surprises.
