https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculating_Space -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton -> related to the latter https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2026/01/what-is-ruliolog... and https://www.wolframscience.com/nks/ fit in as well.
Maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra's_Pearls_(book) , too.
Furthermore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra's_net for a much older concept.
For one of many (hard) sci-fi novels about this Cosm by Gregory Benford comes to mind.
- Suggested hard sci-fi light reading: "Cosm" by Gregory Benford, 1999. A universe the size of a bowling ball created in a laboratory. The scientist responsible for it, keeping it safe and on the run from gvt spooks. They want to protect it for as long as it lasts, and since its time is as relative as its size, they won't have long to wait.
- Gregory Benford also wrote a novel that touches on this topic called "Cosm", which is a pretty excellent read.
- Interesting - I just finished reading Gregory Benford's novel Cosm, which explored an experiment much like this, at the Brookhaven RHIC (using U-238 rather than gold, and with much more dramatic results). A great read.
