Vitaly Vanchurin — The World as a Neural Network (EISM, 2020)

A canonical walk-through of the paper itself: Vanchurin goes through the model — neurons as microscopic degrees of freedom, with quantum mechanics and general relativity as its limits.

The first public exposition of the idea — an interview recorded shortly after the preprint appeared, later published in PNAS (2022). EISM channel.

Why it helps: Vanchurin answers questions in plain language, without academic jargon. A good entry point before reading the paper itself.
