Deanthropomorphized Pancomputationalism and the Concept of Computing
Paweł Jan Polak, Roman Krzanowski · Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences · 2019
Abstract Pancomputationalism is quite a wide-ranging concept, but most of its variants, either implicitly or explicitly, rely on Turing’s conceptualizations of a computer and computing, which are obvious anthropomorphisms. This paper questions the concept of pancomputationalism based on Turing computing and asks what concept of computation can be used to avoid the constrains of anthropomorphisations.
