title: Structure and Dynamics in Implementation of Computations creator: Mallah, Dr. Jacques subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Dynamical Systems subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Philosophy of Science description: Without a proper restriction on mappings, virtually any system could be seen as implementing any computation. That would not allow characterization of systems in terms of implemented computations and is not compatible with a computationalist philosophy of mind. Information-based criteria for independence of substates within structured states are proposed as a solution. Objections to the use of requirements for transitions in counterfactual states are addressed, in part using the partial-brain argument as a general counterargument to neural replacement arguments. publisher: AISB date: 2014-02-23 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/9207/1/Mallah-Structure-Dynamics-AISB14-fin3.pdf identifier: Mallah, Dr. Jacques (2014) Structure and Dynamics in Implementation of Computations.
