What is a physical realization of a computational system?

چکیده
The concept of a physical realization of a computational system is one of the key notions of both functionalism and the symbolic approach to cognitive science or AI. Notwithstanding a widespread consensus on the theoretical import of this concept, it comes somewhat as a surprise that a precise analysis or shared definition does not exist yet, either in the philosohical camp, or in the cognitive science and AI community. In this talk, I will present my renewed attempt at such an analysis and, in doing so, I will first put forth a few critical remarks on why I now believe that the strategy underlying my previous attempts is misguided.
