Between Mind and Mathematics. Different Kinds of Computational Representations of Music
In this article we analyse different types of representations of music, both from a cognitive and a computational point of view. Whereas mental representations of music are the objects of the musical mind, and are therefore by definition a subject of cognitive psychology and philosophy, it can be argued that mathematical representations of music also have some cognitive correlates enabling the ...
متن کاملThe mind, the lab, and the field: Three kinds of populations in scientific practice.
Scientists use models to understand the natural world, and it is important not to conflate model and nature. As an illustration, we distinguish three different kinds of populations in studies of ecology and evolution: theoretical, laboratory, and natural populations, exemplified by the work of R. A. Fisher, Thomas Park, and David Lack, respectively. Biologists are rightly concerned with all thr...
متن کاملKinds of Kinds: Sources of Category Coherence
A fundamental question in the study of concepts is what makes sets of examples cohere as categories. We present results of three studies designed to compare standard taxonomic categories with categories that take their meaning from relationships extending outside of the individual example. An exemplar generation task is used to differentiate relational categories from taxonomic kinds and to com...
متن کاملBiochemical Kinds
Chemical kinds (e.g. gold) are generally treated as having timelessly fixed identities. Biological kinds (e.g. goldfinches) are generally treated as evolved and/or evolving entities. So what kind of kind is a biochemical kind? This paper defends the thesis that biochemical molecules are clustered chemical kinds, some of which–namely, evolutionarily conserved units–are also biological kinds. On ...
متن کاملThree Levels of Semiosis: Three Kinds of Kinds
In philosophy, there is an as yet unresolved discussion on whether there are different kinds of kinds and what those kinds are. In particular, there is a distinction between indifferent kinds, which are unaffected by observation and representation, and interactive kinds, which respond to being studied in ways that alter the very kinds under study. This is in essence a discussion on ontologies a...
