Normally “algorithm” is a term used within the context of computer science. But if it generally means a procedure for solving a problem, it seems the term can apply in any context. What else seems to apply in any context? Philosophy.
So, my claim is that philosophy is the art of inventing algorithms for whatever mental processing unit one’s using during a period of an expected approximate duration. Philosophers understand that if one is usually inventing algorithms on the fly, one is also usually misguided. Philosophers understand the importance of usually being able to apply algorithms whose internal wisdom is much too complex to be apprehended and comprehended improvisationally.
Can philosophy be defined this concisely? If any, what are other concise definitions?
My low level of intelligence makes it difficult to follow you. I appologize for that. However, I’ll make a little suggestion here. As far as I see, philosophy is a science, which creates algorithms for creating algorithms. The purpose of philosophy is to find how “all the things” are connected, what influence they have on each other and on Everything together.
flextone, brain scanning technologies and tools are getting more and more advanced/accurate. Electrons can be tracked now, it’s amazing! Reverse engineering of the human brain will eventually lead to the first AI, the modelling of a human brain onto a computer, and then that AI becoming far more intelligent then un-engineered human brains.
Ofcourse, you were smart enough to realize that philosophy is algorithmic, like system cycles and system scans that are primed for a sertain tast, or data size/file type. Remember that experience also can spawn subconscious algorithms.
Computation is information handling. That’s what a brain does. About 1000 terrabytes per second, if I remember right, but I read so much I can’t get names and numbers perfect.
Recent holographic disc and optical computer technologies are bring us closer and closer to this super human AI, but on the way there, expect to see a disk popped into your disc drive on your tower, storing 100tera, with 40Gig per-second transfer-rates, if I’m correct.
Big companies pressed towards marketability, but these revolutions take time. Initial patent of holographic disc memory technology was 2004, I think, and then 3 to 5 year estimates of RnD antil marketable.
