of smoking that destroyed the air sacs in his lungs http www psychologytoday com blog hot thought 201310 the extended breath thanks to larry shapiro for bringing my attention to this is this the first less than enthusiastic treatment of eeee cognition mind emotion consciousness that they ve had over at psychology today posted by unknown at 12 38 pm no comments friday october 11 2013 this is not my view in my earlier post i noted my surprise regarding some of robinson s interpretations of my views here is another surprising passage i also recognize in this particular case that both the proponents and the critics of the emt have stipulated that empirical evidence either for or against the emt will be set to one side and the case argued on its philosophical merits p 3 i never register any stipulation like this nor do i think rupert does maybe there are some people out there who have stipulated that empirical evidence for or against the emt will be set to one side but i don t think rupert or adams or i say that i don t think clark or rowlands or menary or wilson or hurley or noe think this i don t recall anyone who does maybe there are folks out there who do this i have not read everything in the literature but i also try to evaluate emt on the empirical evidence look at the discussion of primacy and recency effects in memory the generation effect etc how is that not appealing to empirical evidence look at the discussion of retinal fading how is that not empirical look at the stuff on neuromuscular blockade how is that not empirical look at the stuff from psychology that rupert talks about posted by unknown at 5 57 am no comments is computation observer relative the 7th aisb symposium on computing and philosophy is computation observer relative aisb 50 goldsmiths london 1 4 april 2014 as part of the aisb 50 annual convention 2014 to be held at goldsmiths university of london http www aisb org uk events aisb14 the convention is organised by the society for the study of artificial intelligence and simulation of behaviour aisb http www aisb org uk overview one of the claims integral to john searle s critique of computational cognitive science and strong ai was that computation is observer relative or observer dependent searle the rediscovery of the mind 1992 this claim has already proven to be very controversial in cognitive science and ai endicott 1996 coulter sharrock rey and haugeland in preston bishop eds views into the chinese room 2002 those who come to the subject of computation via physics for example often argue that computational properties are physical properties that is that computation is intrinsic to physics on such views computation is comparable to the flow of information where information is conceived of in statistical terms and thus computation is both observer independent and perhaps ubiquitous connected with this are related issues about causality and identity including continuity of as well as the question of alternative formulations of information this symposium seeks to evaluate arguments such as but not limited to searle s which bear directly on the question of what kind of processes and properties computational processes and properties are it thus seeks to address the general question what is computation in a somewhat indirect way questions that might be tackled include are computational properties syntactic properties are syntactic properties discovered or assigned if they must be assigned as searle argues does this mean they are or can be assigned arbitrarily might computational properties be universally realized would such universal realizability be objectionable or trivialise computationalism is syntax observer relative what kinds of properties if any are observer relative or observer dependent is observer relativity a matter of degree might the question of whether computation is observer relative have different answers depending on what is carrying out the computation in question might the answer to this question be affected by the advent of new computing technologies such as biologically and physically inspired models of computation is it time to start distinguishing between different meanings of computation or is there still mileage in the idea that some single notion of computation is both thin enough to cover all the kinds of activities we call computational and yet still informative non trivial does searle s idea that syntax is observer relative serve to support or instead to undermine his famous chinese room argument topics of interest 1 computational philosophical issues questions of ontology and epistemology i computation as observer relative is computation an observer relative phenomenon what implications do answers to this question have for the doctrine of computationalism ii what is computation does computation the unfolding process of a computational system define a natural kind if so how do we differentiate the computational from the non computational iii implications for computational ontology and pan computationalism to what extent and in what ways can we say that computation is taking place in natural systems are the laws of natural processes computational does a rock implement every input less fsa putnam chalmers is the evolution of the universe computable as the output of an algorithm i e is the temporal evolution of a state of the universe a digital informational process akin to what goes on in the circuitry of a computer digital ontology zuse the nature of the physical universe is ultimately discrete cf kant s distinction from the antinomies of pure reason of simple parts and no simple parts the discrete and the analogue 2 some computational philosophical issues computation in machines and computation in nature turing versus non turing computation i computation in nature investigating the difference between formal models of physical and biological systems and physical

transdisciplinary research the field draws on insights from computer science complexity theory psychology network theory economics engineering machine learning and many other disciplines to explore the computational potential of systems in which humans and machines collaborate to solve problems successful applications of the theory of human computation include von ahn s recaptcha amazon com s mechanical turk computationally significant games like fold it s protein folding puzzle game and google s waze platform for monitoring traffic and road conditions while human computation is traditionally seen as field dominated by mathematically oriented work there is room for significant humanistic contribution human computation and the humanities hch is designed to bring philosophers historians literary theorists and other humanities scholars interested in human computation into dialog both with one another and with more traditional human computation researchers mary catherine bateson in her introduction to the recent springer handbook on human computation suggests that this field may potentially offer models of interdependence and connectivity that will convey to those who work with them the conviction that individual voices and actions count the study of human computation thus raises a number of issues relevant to the humanities including the nature of collective intelligence the metaphysics of complex systems the prerequisites for social collaboration the ethics of privacy the politics of self organized societies and many others hch explores this complex of questions from a transdisciplinary point of view one that emphasizes collaboration between the humanities and the sciences this conference is a supplement and follow up to the more general aaai conference on human computation and crowdsourcing hcomp 2013 held november 6 9 2013 in palm springs california usa and comes on the heels of the publication of springer s handbook of human computation in december 2013 these two events will provide ample fodder for cross talk between the humanities and the sciences hch is structured to maximize the opportunities for interdisciplinary engagement and reflection on a broad spectrum of topics related to human computation hch will highlight the transdisciplinary nature of the study of human computation and engage with areas of academia and culture that might not generally participate in the discourse surrounding information processing and computation we invite proposals for both paper and panel presentations from scholars working in any field related to human computation submitted abstracts should be of approximately 300 400 words and associated papers should be suitable for approximately 30 minute presentation time 4 000 5 000 words proposed panel discussions should include a clear description of the panel s topic its relationship to human computation and a suggested list of invited participants proposals must be submitted by december 22 2013 and should be submitted via email to swarm over glass gmail com decisions will be announced by january 13 2014 the hch will be held on february 22 and 23 and will take place on the

feeling extended so the blogging on feeling extended has begun over at brains so the putative problem for clark is that he says that the machinery of the mind literally extends but machinery is metaphorical what is the machinery of the mind obviously it s a metaphor not only is the mind not literally mechanical the brain isn t either i don t see the other commentators buying the charge of metaphor but ok so why not simply charitably interpret clark in a non metaphorical way i know it s strange reading me defending clark but there you have it the putative problem for adams and me is well i m not sure robinson attributes to me views i don t recognize 1 if nothing material extends mind doesn t extend i am not sure what this means or why robinson attributes this to me 2 speaking a language doesn t help us think speaking a language might help us think there is probably some sense to be made of that but i don t see where i ve committed to this one way or the other 3 thinking itself isn t a form of internalized conversation steeped in transcraniality i don t believe that thinking itself is a form of internalized conversation but i m not sure where i ve committed to this 4 speech acts aren t performed by whole groups i do think speech acts are at least some times performed by whole groups but i don t know how robinson comes to the view that i deny that speech acts are performed by whole groups so it seems to me that robinson is not being very charitable to either clark or me posted by unknown at 6 01 pm no comments saturday september 21 2013 ec ...
