The rich landscape of iterated simplicity.
I'm Michiel, a physicist in Ghent. I spent a PhD on cellular automata: what a simple local rule does at scale, and how little of it you can predict without running it. That habit of mind is a big part of why I'm now moving into AI safety.
PhD done, BlueDot done, Iliad Intensive next. Looking for what comes after.
The background is a Game of Life still life, assembled from the tiles of my mosaics. Nothing moves until you click or drag on it.
