Okay with a few prompts Nota Language now is a full symbolic system with a rewriting machine that is exactly like Wolfram Language .
And now it can compute symbolic integrals and derivatives… crazy crazy world…
Zea is watching Will Wright for her work, and I’m like: “Man these things can have massive applications to my work”
Will Wright’s idea of hierarchy/network/landscape and his “Fitness Terrains” are amazing…

World is changing so strangely. Yesterday I began changing the entirety of Nota Language into a symbolic system, and not just any symbolic system, a Wolfram Language style system where you can define patterns like f[x_] = x / 2. It won’t evaluate things it cannot reduce, so for example y = z + 4/2 returuns z + 2. And taking this to extremes, it can do Hold, ReleaseHold, Evaluate, and compute Integrates and Derivatives now…
