- Wolfram says the universe is cellular automata
- Neumann said that true randomness cannot be achieved by an algorithm
- How then does Wolfram explain that true randomness (in radioactive decay) arises from cellular automata?

Radioactive decay isn’t truly random right? the radioactive particles (alpha, beta, or gamma) fly around and have a probability of causing the next chain reaction. It just appears random to us

Why can't cellular automata involve randomness?

and nothing has ever come of it, from either him or others. it is a dead end idea. it has been ever since wolfram started sucking his own dick decades ago vigorously and ineffectually

It's only truly random from our perspective, and has some form of determinism we are either unaware of or unable to comprehend.

QFT brings a way to calculate the probabilities but i dont understand it. Do t call me a brainlet, very smart men were puzzled by it for 20 years until renormalization was invented. QCD doesnt even work very well compared to QED, nowhere near the same level of precision. You get at best one digit of accuracy vs QED's 20 digits.
