In this week’s reading “The Computational Beauty of Nature”, I came across many scientific analogies that have widened my views on nature. Before this reading, I would always look at things from a further perspective and not really think deeply of every object around me and its particular details. Just like the author mentions, the roles of ants in every ant colony would usually be similar, but every ant is unique to its identity and behaves differently despite working on the same task.
It is very fascinating that the reductionist approach can be applied in the computing world. We have had many simulations built thus far that researchers and scientists have benefited from.
