Other words, that God not only plays dice in quantum mechanics and nonlinearĭynamics, but even in elementary number theory. Problem has shown that in a sense there is randomness in arithmetic, in Incompleteness theorem, and the celebrated number. Information-theoretic approach to Gödel's Sequence via algorithmic incompressibility, his Among his contributions are the definition of a random In the four decades since then he has been the principalĪrchitect of the theory. He created algorithmic information theory (AIT), which combines, among otherĮlements, Shannon 's information theory and Turing's theory ofĬomputability. In the mid 1960s, when he was a teenager, Gregory Chaitin is at the IBM Watson Research Center in New York. Philosophy paradigm shift that is sweeping across the sciences. This will be a first-person account of someĭoubts and speculations about the nature of mathematics that I have entertainedįor the past three decades, and which have now been incorporated in a digital Point of view proposed by Leibniz in 1686 andĭeveloped by algorithmic information theory (AIT) suggests that mathematics and
