They discuss computation in the world from a variety of perspectives, ranging from foundational concepts to pragmatic models to ontological conceptions and philosophical implications.The volume provides a state-of-the-art collection of technical papers and non-technical essays, representing a field that assumes information and computation to be key in understanding and explaining the basic structure underpinning physical reality. It also includes a new edition of Konrad Zuse's \"Calculating Space\" (the MIT translation), and a panel discussion transcription on the topic, featuring worldwide experts in quantum mechanics, physics, cognition, computation and algorithmic complexity.The volume is dedicated to the memory of Alan M Turing -- the inventor of universal computation, on the 100th anniversary of his birth, and is part of the Turing Centenary celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47573156462743,"sku":"9789814374293","price":31886.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789814374293.webp?v=1774892105","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-computable-universe-9789814374293","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
