1. Cybersemiotics and the question of knowledge / Soren Brier -- 2. Information dynamics in a categorical setting / Mark Burgin -- 3. Mathematics as a biological process / G.J. Chaitin -- 4. Information, causation and computation / John Collier -- 5. From Descartes to Turing : the computational content of supervenience / S. Barry Cooper -- 6. A dialogue concerning two world systems : info-computational vs. mechanistic / Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic and Vincent C. Muller -- 7. Does computing embrace self-organization? / Wolfgang Hofkirchner -- 8. Analysis of information and computation in physics explains cognitive paradigms : from full cognition to Laplace determinism to statistical determinism to modern approach / Vladik Kreinovich, Roberto Araiza and Juan Ferret -- 9. Bodies -- both informed and transformed embodied computation and information processing / Bruce J. MacLennan -- 10. Computation on information, meaning and representations : an evolutionary approach / Christophe Menant -- 11. Interior grounding, reflection, and self-consciousness / Marvin Minsky -- 12. A molecular dynamic network : minimal properties and evolutionary implications / Walter Riofrio -- 13. Super-recursive features of evolutionary processes and the models for computational evolution / Darko Roglic -- 14. Towards a modeling view of computing / Oron Shagrir -- 15. What's information, for an organism or intelligent machine? How can a machine or organism mean? / Aaron Sloman -- 16. Inconsistent knowledge as a neural phenomenon : the ranking of reasonable inferences as a computational approach to naturally inconsistent (legal) theories / Kees (C.N.J.) de Vey Mestdagh & Jaap Henk (J.H.) Hoepman -- 17. On the algorithmic nature of the world / Hector Zenil and Jean-Paul Delahaye.
This volume provides a cutting-edge view of the world's leading authorities in fields where information and computation play a central role.
