Summary
Authors’ note: This is the first essay in their series on the next economy, part of a new platform to host independent voices exploring an AGI future. Their equations tell a mostly coherent account of the universe from its first moments. The explanations they seek span the universe, while their bodies have barely left home. One possibility is that they needn’t go far, that the deepest truths might be fathomed from a single planet. The second possibility is more intimidating.
