    17 CALT-68-740 DoE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT Jet Development in Leading Log QCD * by STEPHEN WOLFRAM California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. California 91125 ABSTRACT A simple picture of jet development in QCD is described. Various appli- cations are treated, including transverse spreading of jets, hadroproduced y* pT distributions, lepton energy spectra from heavy quark decays, soft parton multiplicities and hadron cluster formation. *Work supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC-03-79ER0068 and by a Feynman Fellowship. 18 According to QCD, high-energy e+- e annihilation into hadrons is initiated by the production from the decaying virtual photon of a quark and an antiquark, ,- +- each with invariant masses up to the c.m. energy vs in the original e e collision. The q and q then travel outwards radiating gluons which serve to spread their energy and color into a jet of finite angle. After a time ~ 1/IS, the rate of gluon emissions presumably decreases roughly inversely with time, except for the logarithmic rise associated with the effective coupling con­ 2 stant, (a (t) ~ l/log(t/A ), where It is the invariant mass of the radiating s . quark). Finally, when emissions have degraded the energies of the partons produced until their invariant masses fall below some critical ~ (probably c a few times h), the system of quarks and gluons begins to condense into the observed hadrons. The probability for a gluon to be emitted at times of 0(--)1 is small IS and may be est~mated from the leading terms of a perturbation series in a (s).

  • The Problem of Distributed Consensus: a Survey Stephen Wolfram*
    The Problem of Distributed Consensus: A Survey Stephen Wolfram* A survey is given of approaches to the problem of distributed consensus, focusing particularly on methods based on cellular automata and related systems. A variety of new results are given, as well as a history of the field and an extensive bibliography. Distributed consensus is of current relevance in a new generation of blockchain-related systems. In preparation for a conference entitled “Distributed Consensus with Cellular Automata and Related Systems” that we’re organizing with NKN (= “New Kind of Network”) I decided to explore the problem of distributed consensus using methods from A New Kind of Science (yes, NKN “rhymes” with NKS) as well as from the Wolfram Physics Project. A Simple Example Consider a collection of “nodes”, each one of two possible colors. We want to determine the majority or “consensus” color of the nodes, i.e. which color is the more common among the nodes. A version of this document with immediately executable code is available at writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/05/the-problem-of-distributed-consensus Originally published May 17, 2021 *Email: [email protected] 2 | Stephen Wolfram One obvious method to find this “majority” color is just sequentially to visit each node, and tally up all the colors. But it’s potentially much more efficient if we can use a distributed algorithm, where we’re running computations in parallel across the various nodes. One possible algorithm works as follows. First connect each node to some number of neighbors. For now, we’ll just pick the neighbors according to the spatial layout of the nodes: The algorithm works in a sequence of steps, at each step updating the color of each node to be whatever the “majority color” of its neighbors is.

  • Cellular Automation
    John von Neumann Cellular automation A cellular automaton is a discrete model studied in computability theory, mathematics, physics, complexity science, theoretical biology and microstructure modeling. Cellular automata are also called cellular spaces, tessellation automata, homogeneous structures, cellular structures, tessellation structures, and iterative arrays.[2] A cellular automaton consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states, such as on and off (in contrast to a coupled map lattice). The grid can be in any finite number of dimensions. For each cell, a set of cells called its neighborhood is defined relative to the specified cell. An initial state (time t = 0) is selected by assigning a state for each cell. A new generation is created (advancing t by 1), according to some fixed rule (generally, a mathematical function) that determines the new state of each cell in terms of the current state of the cell and the states of the cells in its neighborhood. Typically, the rule for updating the state of cells is the same for each cell and does not change over time, and is applied to the whole grid simultaneously, though exceptions are known, such as the stochastic cellular automaton and asynchronous cellular automaton. The concept was originally discovered in the 1940s by Stanislaw Ulam and John von Neumann while they were contemporaries at Los Alamos National Laboratory. While studied by some throughout the 1950s and 1960s, it was not until the 1970s and Conway's Game of Life, a two-dimensional cellular automaton, that interest in the subject expanded beyond academia.

  • A New Kind of Science
    Wolfram|Alpha, A New Kind of Science A New Kind of Science Wolfram|Alpha, A New Kind of Science by Bruce Walters April 18, 2011 Research Paper for Spring 2012 INFSY 556 Data Warehousing Professor Rhoda Joseph, Ph.D. Penn State University at Harrisburg Wolfram|Alpha, A New Kind of Science Page 2 of 8 Abstract The core mission of Wolfram|Alpha is “to take expert-level knowledge, and create a system that can apply it automatically whenever and wherever it’s needed” says Stephen Wolfram, the technologies inventor (Wolfram, 2009-02). This paper examines Wolfram|Alpha in its present form. Introduction As the internet became available to the world mass population, British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee provided “hypertext” as a means for its general consumption, and coined the phrase World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is often referred to simply as the Web, and Web 1.0 transformed how we communicate. Now, with Web 2.0 firmly entrenched in our being and going with us wherever we go, can 3.0 be far behind? Web 3.0, the semantic web, is a web that endeavors to understand meaning rather than syntactically precise commands (Andersen, 2010). Enter Wolfram|Alpha. Wolfram Alpha, officially launched in May 2009, is a rapidly evolving "computational search engine,” but rather than searching pre‐existing documents, it actually computes the answer, every time (Andersen, 2010). Wolfram|Alpha relies on a knowledgebase of data in order to perform these computations, which despite efforts to date, is still only a fraction of world’s knowledge. Scientist, author, and inventor Stephen Wolfram refers to the world’s knowledge this way: “It’s a sad but true fact that most data that’s generated or collected, even with considerable effort, never gets any kind of serious analysis” (Wolfram, 2009-02).

We launched the Wolfram Physics Project two weeks ago, on April 14. And, in a word, wow! People might think that interest in fundamental science has waned. But the thousands of messages we’ve received tell a very different story. People really care! They’re excited. They’re enjoying understanding what we’ve figured out. They’re appreciating the elegance of it. They want to support the project. They want to get involved. It’s tremendously encouraging—and motivating. I wanted this project to be something for the world—and something lots of people could participate in. And it’s working. Our livestreams—even very technical ones—have been exceptionally popular. We’ve had lots of physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists and others asking questions, making suggestions and offering help. We’ve had lots of students and others who tell us how eager they are to get into doing research on the project. And we’ve had lots of people who just want to tell us they appreciate what we’re doing.

  • The Story About Stephen Wolfram
    The Physicist Turned a Successful Entrepreneur THE STORY ABOUT STEPHEN WOLFRAM by Gennaro Cuofano FourWeekMBA.com Wolfram Alpha: The Physicist Turned a Successful Entrepreneur - The Four-Week MBA Wolfram Alpha: The Physicist Turned a Successful Entrepreneur Why Wolfram Alpha? Among my passions, I love to check financial data about companies I like. Recently I was looking for a quick way to get reliable financial information for comparative analyses. At the same time, I was looking for shortcuts to perform that analysis. I was researching for myself. I thought why waste so much time on scraping financial reports? While surfing the web, I was looking for a solution and a term popped to my eyes “computational engine.” Wolfram Alpha! That search opened me a universe I wasn’t aware of. Yet that universe wasn’t only about a fantastic tool I learned to use in several ways. I found out the most amazing entrepreneurial story. That is how I jumped in and researched as much as I could about this topic! Why is this story so remarkable? Imagine a kid that as many others, is struggling at arithmetic. Imagine that same kid at 12 years old building a physics dictionary and by the age of 14 drafting three books about particle physics. A few years later at 23, that kid, now a man gets awarded as a prodigious physicist. We could stop this story here, and it would be already one of the most incredible stories you’ll ever hear. Yet this is only the beginning. In fact, what if I told you, that same person turned into a successful entrepreneur, which built several companies and a whole new science from scratch! (Let’s save some details for later) That isn’t only the story of Wolfram Alpha, a tool that I learned to use and cherish.
