……图灵对 Wolfram 来说似乎就像个人英雄一样，所以我相信他对帖子里提到的结果会挺感兴趣的。对于任何对用计算机对自然界建模更感兴趣的人来说，《一种新科学》（A New Kind of Science）是一本极好的读物，为如何开展建模提供了绝佳的概念框架。令人遗憾的是，人们首先想到的总是 Shalizi 的那篇书评（那书评有点像书评界的《赫芬顿邮报》）。
…Turing seems to be sort of a personal hero to Wolfram, so I'm sure that he'd have some interest in the results in the post. And for anyone interested in modeling nature with computers more generally, A New Kind of Science is wonderful reading and gives a great conceptual framework on how to go about it. It's sad that the Shalizi review is the first thing people refer to (it's sort of the Huffington Post of reviews).
很惊讶居然没人提到 Stephen Wolfram 的《一种新科学》（A New Kind of Science）。虽然它算不上真正的新科学，但里面全都是关于元胞自动机（cellular automata）的内容。http://www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html
Surprised no one has said "A New Kind of Science" by Stephen Wolfram. While not quite a new kind of science, it is all about cellular automata. http://www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html
另一本极具美感、读起来基本挺有趣的书是 Stephen Wolfram 的《一种新科学》（New Kind of Science）。
Another highly aesthetic, mostly fun book is Stephen Wolfram's New Kind of Science.
这让我想起了很多 Stephen Wolfram 的《一种新科学》（A New Kind of Science）。写得真棒！www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html
This reminds me a lot of Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science. A great read! www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html
肯定还有很多，但我脑子里立刻蹦出来的有这么几本，排名不分先后，涵盖虚构和非虚构类：道金斯的《自私的基因》、Wolfram 的《一种新科学》、库兹韦尔的《奇点临近》、侯世达的《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫》、侯世达的《流动概念与创造性类比》、兰德的《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》、兰德的《源泉》、《一九八四》……
I'm sure there are many, but a few that jump to mind, in no particular order, and spanning both fiction and non-fiction: The Selfish Gene - Dawkins A New Kind of Science - Wolfram The Singularity is Near - Kurzweil Gödel, Escher, Bach - Hofstadter Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies - Hofstadter Atlas Shrugged - Rand The Fountainhead - Rand Nineteen Eighty-Four…
呃，我依然认为《一种新科学》（A New Kind of Science）相当有趣，确实包含了他将复杂系统、混沌理论和有限自动机融会贯通后的有趣应用。我确实觉得这套理论始于非常有趣的前提假设……
Eh, I maintain that A New Kind of Science is pretty interesting, and does contain interesting applications of his melding of complex systems, chaos theory, and finite automata. I do think this theory begins with very interesting prepositions…
