The Mind of a Computer

A new problem occurred after the computer was built. Plato and Aristotle have long been thinking about ideas, but the ideas behind it are not new. With the latest technology, the concept of artificial intelligence has advanced explosively. This is a work of many prominent novelists. But how far are they from the truth? For example, the story of "200 anniversary" written by Isaac Asimov, written in 1976, was not known to most people at the time.

In the past 30 years, people have often heard similar ideas from digital computers. In this article, we focus on a specific philosophical view that thinking is literally a digital computer (in particular "a computer to be developed"), and this idea is literally computation. Since this view will be called "Computational Psychology Theory" (CTM), (a) other broader attempts to tie the idea to the calculations, including various companies using computational modeling to characterize thinking It is distinguished. Modeling techniques, and (b) using specific functions of the production model / computer (such as the concept of stored programs, or the difference between hardware and software) leads to a metaphor for understanding certain characteristics of thinking only.

Computational psychology is different from computer metaphors in that it compares mind with modern digital computers. For calculation theory, we use only the same principle as numerical calculation. The metaphor of a computer is similar between the spirit as software and the brain as hardware, but CTM considers its spirit as a computing system. One of the earliest supporters of thinking computing theory, Thomas Hobbes said. Hobbes lives in contemporary computational awareness and embodies an effective program, so he can not be interpreted as explicitly supporting it. Psychological calculation theory in modern meaning
