00:00 Start stream
4:20 Stephen starts talking
5:28 I'm intrigued by the idea of computational irreducibility in evolution. Can you elaborate on how this concept challenges our understanding of complex systems?
29:04 What insights can your most recent biological evolution model lend to the computational materials design process?
40:32 On the materials design topic, and computational explorations of the design space across fields in general, to what extent can we expect "pockets or reducibility" to show up and be leveraged?
1:04:33 ​​How much have you studied higher order automata which look back 2,3,4 or more steps back in time? Anything particularly interesting about those systems?
