IN 2021, a group of theoretical physicists and computer scientists uploaded a paper to the open-access database arXiv. In a swift series of mind-bending pages, “The Autodidactic Universe” outlines a bold theory: We present an approach to cosmology in which the Universe learns its own physical laws.1 Drawing on the examples of biological evolution and deep-learning neural networks, its authors suggest that a dynamic system can be said to “learn” when rules emerge that alter its own internal processes. Many examples of learning appear to exhibit this property, from the vast learning system that is natural selection to intellectual learning among humans. If the universe can learn, can societies? Personal learning doesn’t necessarily ladder up to a shared body of knowledge. How then is collective experience codified and maintained? How have we created a scientific commons and a sense of progress? Wisdom and tradition reflect a social-scale learning which holds collective memory in the form
