DNA. Text. Code. LLMs. Why are they all sequences?
One simple idea underlies the evolution of complexity. From cells to civilizations, complex systems are built on a foundation of one-dimensional patterns that choreograph three-dimensional behavior. We call them sequences, and a common functional logic endows them with enormous power. This book invites you to explore their linear world.
Sequences have come to govern much of the three-dimensional face of our planet, including our own cognition and behavior and the development of human civilization. In a world shaped by AI and machine learning, the sequence lens is more vital than ever. To understand how and why, read this book.
