Wolfram is speaking here of 'Emergent Behaviour' first coined by G. H. Lewes in 1875. I suggest some background reading here, maybe starting with Wikipedia. Also, fractal behaviour is part of nature; and is closely related. Nature is strange, as Richard Feynman frequently pointed out. Good hunting in your researches!

[2012-04-18 23:21:36] jeremysender - modern day einstein ...modern day einstein right there
[2012-04-16 06:07:12] dadsRfunny - I thought George ...I thought George Costanza was a marine biologist, not a physicist/programmer? I like the fake accent tho.
[2012-04-03 13:13:11] EulersDisc - Carl Munck's 'The ...Carl Munck's 'The Code' is proof of the Matrix Space is not empty - the void has been proven to have a mass that 'would formally be infinite if not removed by renormalization' - the Void has a greater mass than the entire Universe - and the Atom is a black hole - See Sacred Geometry and Unified Fields / the Schwarzschild Proton - this infinite mass unites everything - all protons are entangled - one - Peace X
[2012-03-25 03:10:58] z0nt21 - I suppose there ...I suppose there will be mathematical proof of a 'Matrix' long before we encounter physical cut-away manifestations of CPUs & other 'circuitry', if any, operating somewhere on the plane of our 3D Universe. Schools of Plato and Aristotle are still criticized for the lack of a observational, scientific method, but they were right in the pursuit of metaphysics and logical deduction in trying to understand this Universe and the Source code. Thank you for this upload.
[2012-03-25 02:40:50] z0nt21 - I broke out in ...I broke out in tears when the topic of particle physics simulation came up; I had always thought, that if we could simulate them in real-time with the most simplest of underlying Rules, we would have Created the Universe again... The DoD must be enjoying experimenting with the 12th Sepiroth. :) To the low-esteem, egoistical gentlemen below me: it is the logic of the principle, the message - all that matters. He will be simulating you in near future without your consent, if you keep this up.
[2012-03-05 21:38:36] pisnahuj10 - 4th I think he has ...4th I think he has learned so much about structures and how they affect our lifes he in a obsessive/crazy way himself has become but a machine, a soulless structure....
[2012-02-01 18:54:12] godvergeten - It's kind of ...It's kind of fascinating how Wolfram himself is heavily subjected to the patterns that seem to make up life. For one... his physical form is (because it is made out of the same blueprint that we all go by), and secondly... his most notable behavior patterns when giving a lecture: 1. Saying "well" often. 2. Making the same gesture with his arms often. 3. Ending most sentences with a decrease in pitch of voice. 4. Cramming a lot of verbal output in a tight space, in a slightly mechanical manner.
[2012-01-21 18:29:53] wishpishh - What a cringe- ...What a cringe-inducingly bad intro this show has. But the content is marvelous, and of course, that's what counts.
[2012-01-19 22:57:37] inagod - knowledge is power, ...knowledge is power,I have never wasted any time in my lifetime,looking at peoples flaws,were all flawed,do little things were not aware of,I'm sure if I spent a day with you,I could tell you things about yourself,you wouldn't like,likewise you could do the same with me,I always look beyond when i meet a person.
[2012-01-19 22:45:53] inagod - he gave a ...he gave a presentation at TED,its really great,check it out.

[2011-12-07 05:46:14] andwhatfire - so this guy is ...so this guy is trying to become the new newton
[2011-12-01 19:11:54] adzrolls - "mathematica" is a ..."mathematica" is a computer program that he invented! that's why he says mathematica and not mathematics.
[2011-11-22 05:53:51] ptevans01 - My gut feeling is ...My gut feeling is this will revolutionize R&D and exponentially increase the rate of technological breakthroughs.
[2011-11-21 23:48:01] ElecEng91 - Just because you ...Just because you are educated and use educated words when explaining something complex doesn't make you pretentious. When things are constantly refered to in a scientific manner, you begin to talk a bit that way. You spend so much time talking and hearing people talk that way it rubs off. Look up "wolfram mathematica".
[2011-11-19 03:57:17] MagiMysteryTour - I understand that ...I understand that he's British. There are many people with a wide range of British accents that I have no problem listening to. I found THIS man annoying to listen to, his accent was the LEAST of it. First of all, he is EXTREMELY repetitious, saying "ok, so well, ok, so well" over and over and over. His repeated use of pretentious sounding vocabulary, such as "mathematica" instead of "mathematics" has very little to do with being British and very much to do with being pretentious.
[2011-11-18 11:55:32] astroboomboy - It actually is used ...It actually is used in studying the brain. What one does in cognitive science is to look for patterns in the brain, and say that this particular pattern yields this particular behavior. The problem is that one does not find the underlying rules for why those patterns arise. The models of Wolfram can possibly provide patterns to compare with brain-scans and thus be able to find the underlying rules.
[2011-11-18 11:53:05] astroboomboy - Remember that you ...Remember that you can find patterns everywhere, and Wolfram also never says randomness, but rather apparent randomness (it seems random to us, but it might have an overall structure that is infinite, or close to infinite, and then it repeats itself).
[2011-11-17 21:45:26] astroboomboy - The point is that ...The point is that the complex behavior in our world is based on simple rules, that's the basic point here.
[2011-11-11 08:51:07] ElecEng91 - He's British... are ...He's British... are you surprised that he has a British accent? Damn, you're stupid.
[2011-10-28 21:43:52] necrowizzard - the part about ...the part about snowflakes is not good at all - what i (and probably most people) find fascinating about snow flakes it the actualy symmetry and structure of these creations - why would someone believe that structure is a defining property of our reality - not much seems structured anyway; the human way of thinking is basically the one trying to find similarities, but who can guarantee that there are any...
[2011-10-18 17:50:34] JCarter3000 - AMAZING VIDEO! ...AMAZING VIDEO! Possibly the best video on youtube!
[2011-10-06 23:32:06] ilmale - I can't believe ...I can't believe that the ultimate answer to the life the universe and everything is 40 and no 42.
[2011-10-02 16:19:56] sesc79 - It's called British ...It's called British English, punk. Live with it.
[2011-10-01 07:32:26] harddancelove - fuck yea he said it ...fuck yea he said it. i dont really know what. but
[2011-09-30 20:41:55] MagiMysteryTour - I don't know what ...I don't know what he's yammering on about. His manner of talking and accent are annoyingly pretentious. "Automata, mathematica, brahnch, exahmple, rahther, ok, so well, exahmple, ok, well, so ...." I can't force myself to relisten to an hour and a half of this to try to see if he's really saying something worth hearing.
[2011-09-14 20:09:13] DBogable - finally a smart - ...finally a smart - intelligent person
[2011-09-13 05:27:26] Aryanpars - Emergence ...Emergence Emergence Emergence!!!
[2011-08-16 21:15:48] TKgeniusHELLTX - true, but if your ...true, but if your research He-3 super fluid, you'll find some fascinating properties that naturally do not exist in nature. Perpetual motion theory has flaws. Currently I proposed that there must be revisions in the definition as well as the understanding in gravity as a macro continuum of the electromagnetic fields given off by quantum mechanical forces. So for now, we cannot disapprove any theory till it is fully tested and looked over. Keep your optimism up my friend.
[2011-08-16 06:17:32] BorrahAlive - perpetual motion is ...perpetual motion is totally impossible... but invisibility is already something we use, and plasma / condensate physics may eventually give rise to "walk through walls" technology!
[2011-07-30 20:24:38] TKgeniusHELLTX - This has changed my ...This has changed my life, particularly in the view of physics and quantum mechanics, as I will get my degree, I want to help in revising and simplifying physics. I know that as new generations will begin to study this, our perspective of this world and science will make another paradigm shift as it did 400 years ago. In the future, people will laugh at how we thought invisibility, deep space travel to get to a star, anti-gravity, perpetual motion, even walking through walls was impossible.
