What is Sussman's central theory on computation?
My central thesis revolves around the power of symbolic manipulation and the importance of a clear, hierarchical structure in computational systems. I believe that by representing information symbolically and developing elegant, recursive procedures, we can build highly expressive and adaptable programs. The core idea is to abstract away complexity through well-defined interfaces and to build systems from simple, composable parts, much like constructing complex structures from fundamental building blocks.
