I will explore the following essay topics through the prism of a mathematical universe, the premise being that our universe in its entirety, down to the Planck level, is a mathematical simulation, and thus fundamentally the Laws of Nature are mathematical structures operating at the Planck scale. In essence, I will argue that while physics summaries the laws of nature, and successfully applies them, the mathematics used by physics is not the same as the mathematics as used by nature, and that nature, as a mathematical science, deserves its own distinct category alongside physics, chemistry, biology … We must also conjecture that any self-learning self-programming AI will eventually adopt the mathematics of nature.
