The New Development of Intellectual Science:a Computational Mechanics Integrating Computation with Dynamics
Jiang Jing-ping · Fuza xitong yu fuzaxing kexue · 2006
The disagreement or opposition in evolutionism,cognition and cybernation,seems no any relation among them.In fact they can all be reduced to conflict between computation and dynamic.This viewpoint can be concluded from the developing course of the three disciplines.The Australian philosopher Gelder analyzed this conflict in detail.The physicist of Santa Fe Institute Crutchfield tried to harmonize such conflict by a new theoretical frame,computational mechanics.Computation means inferring and mechanics means searching essential rules.In this frame,epsilon machine is an elementary tool and it can be viewed as a new computational intelligence.Any improvement in computational mechanics will promote above three disciplines.
