Abstract
This colloquium examines three examples of emergent patterns in physics. First, we investigate the statistical regularities found in the distribution of mathematical operators within the equations of physics, which point towards an underlying structure governing physical laws. Next, we explore how advanced computational techniques, such as neural networks and genetic algorithms, are transforming our grasp of the string landscape, enabling first-principles calculations of the mass hierarchies observed in particle physics. Finally, we turn to cosmology, analyzing a class of models that exhibit late-time anisotropy and provide a redshift–luminosity distance relation consistent with type Ia supernovae data, all without requiring a cosmological constant.
