Tomorrow I'm moving. I am so pumped. I have been alternately manic and panicked all day long. I can't wait to get this over with. I am tense as a violin string. That's all I've got to say. Except that Stephen Wolfram gave me some interesting ideas when I heard him talk on Thursday. He's not nearly as crackpotty as I'd been led to expect. Some of what he had to say, about complexity emerging in biology, reminded me of a transcript of a Douglas Adams speech I read in The Salmon of Doubt. Also, his thoughts about matter and energy emerging as certain configurations of the nodes in space echoed some vague and half-formed notions I'd had myself. Everything should be a side-effect of space. It seems aesthetically pleasing, in light of General Relativity.
