Toward a dynamical theory of human computation

چکیده
We maintain that agent-environment dynamics is cucial even in activities, like algorithm execution, which are ordinarily conceived in terms of exclusively internal resources. In this paper, we in fact outline the principles of a dynamical theory of human computation, intended as any activity of a human being that consists in executing a purely mechanical procedure.

Toward a Theory of Intrinsic Computability
This paper investigates the foundations of the view that (i) computation theory is a special branch of dynamical systems theory, and (ii) a computational system is a special kind of discrete dynamical system whose specific property, being computational, can be thought to be intrinsic to the dynamics of the system itself. I give a formal explication of the concept of an intrinsic computational s...
متن کاملToward a Physics of Pattern Focus Issue on “Randomness, Structure, and Causality: Measures of Complexity from Theory to Applications”
The workshop on “Randomness, Structure, and Causality: Measures of Complexity from Theory to Applications” was held at the Santa Fe Institute in January 2011. This Focus Issue records work that was presented at and stimulated by this workshop. The contributions treat both fundamental questions in the theory of complex systems and information theory and their application to a wide range of disci...
متن کاملDynamical Behavior of a Rigid Body with One Fixed Point (Gyroscope). Basic Concepts and Results. Open Problems: a Review
The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...
متن کاملBifurcation analysis and dynamics of a Lorenz –type dynamical system
./files/site1/files/0Abstract1.pdfIn this paper we consider a continues Lorenz – type dynamical system. Dynamical behaviors of this system such as computing equilibrium points, different bifurcation curves and computation of normal form coefficient of each bifurcation point analytically and numerically. In particular we derived sufficient conditions for existence of Hopf and Pitchfork bifurcati...
متن کاملA Dynamical System Approach to Research in Second Language Acquisition
Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...
