Prerational Intelligence: Adaptive Behavior and Intelligent Systems without Symbols and Logic: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Behavior of ... Systems Vol 2 (Studies in Cognitive Systems) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The focus of this text is on the way animals and artificial systems utilize information about their surroundings in order to behave intelligently; the premise is that logic and symbolic reasoning are neither necessary nor, possibly, sufficient. Experts in the fields of biology, psychology, robotics, AI, mathematics, engineering, computer science, and philosophy review the evidence that intelligent behaviour can arise in systems of simple agents interacting according to simple rules; that self-organization and interaction with the environment are critical; and that quick approximations may replace logical analyses. It is argued that a better understanding of the intelligence inherent in procedure like those illustrated will eventually shed light on how rational intelligence is realized in humans.
