Grounded Multi-Level Computations
Henno Jaak · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2014
Developments in Biology, Economy, Information Technology, Social studies etc have introduced and acknowledged the understanding that the whole world consists of Information Processing Systems (IPS). We understand rather well computations in man-made devices, especially in computers, and how these computations change the (logical) state of the world (pre- and post-conditions). But we do not have general model of computations which occur in natural IPS – living organisms and its subsystems, businesses, languages, social systems etc and how these computations change the environment where they proceed.
