Very cool read. Thanks

There is also a much more in depth blogpost by Stephen Wolfram about his work for this movie. I don't think it goes much more in depth on the language aspect but he tells a lot more about the process and questions he got from the movie creators.

This is great. I love it when movie makers actually try to adhere to real world rules.

If you like this movie, you should check out the original short story by Ted Chiang called Story of Your Life.
