The Computational Economy

Core thesis

Computation is evolving from a tool used primarily for numerical processing into a broad economic input—one that affects cognition, biology, robotics, infrastructure, financial systems, and enterprise activity.

Organizing layers

This is an evergreen area of study. It can be organized into layers, each of which is intended to expand into its own sub-pages and diagrams over time:

• Compute — the underlying capacity that makes the rest possible.
• Energy — the constraint and enabler of large-scale computation.
• Financial Infrastructure — how capital and markets adapt.
• Physical Intelligence — robotics and systems that act in the world.
• Biological Intelligence — computation applied to life sciences.
• Advanced Computation — the frontier of what computation can do.
• Enterprise Applications — where these capabilities meet economic activity.
