Teilhard de Chardin e Wolfram: modelli di universo computazionale ed emergenza del foglietto interno delle cose

摘要

The ambitious goal of u27The Human Phenomenonu27 by Teilhard de Chardin is to describe the Cosmos and its evolution in a way that integrates the outside and the inside of things - the material world and the dimensions of psyche and consciousness - while preserving the character of a scientific investigation. By following the teilhardian steps of Prelife-Life-Though, and by using results that were still largely unknown during Teilhardu27s lifespan, due, in particular, to Wolfram, Chaitin and Tononi, in this short essay we show that it is possible and useful to try and understand the ultimate fabric of the universe, some phenomena in the biosphere, and the notion of consciousness itself, in terms of the concept of computation, that is, as phenomena emerging from information processing.
