Multiplicad


The multiplicad is a simple example of an idea like the ruliad. It consists of a rulial multiway system based on the positive integers in which the rules simply multiply by successive integers via n->{2n,3n,...} (Wolfram 2021). While this multiplicad is presumably not capable of producing a full ruliad on its own, changing the underlying rules (likely by just inserting the operation of addition) might produce a system that is capable of universal computation and which could therefore generate the full ruliad (Wolfram 2021).
