A software architect builds deterministic toy universes to test ideas about quantum mechanics, entropy, and time.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The series uses deterministic software models as experimental apparatus: an episode defines a question, runs a small machine, counts its behavior, and records where the model succeeds or fails. The homepage lists 16 episodes, including an entropy experiment built around a 16-ball frictionless billiard table and a wave-building attempt involving six worlds. Episode pages are accompanied by Code links, while several entries also expose DOI links for citation or archival reference.
