Abstract:
We argue that dynamical systems involving discrete and continuous data can be modelled by Turing machines with oracles that are physical processes. Using the theory introduced in Beggs et al. [2,3], we consider the scope and limits of polynomial time computations by such systems. We propose a general polynomial time Church-Turing Thesis for feasible computations by analogue-digital systems, having the non-uniform complexity class BPP//log* as theoretical upper bound. We show why BPP//log* should be replace P/poly, which was proposed by Siegelmann for neural nets [23,24]. Then we examine whether other sources of hypercomputation can be found in analogue-digital systems besides the oracle itself. We prove that the higher polytime limit P/poly can be attained via non-computable analogue-digital interface protocols.

Abstract:
The Church–Turing thesis deals with computing functions that are described by a list of formal, mathematical rules or sequences of event-driven actions such as modeling, simulation, business workflows, etc. All algorithms that are Turing computable fall within the boundaries of the Church–Turing thesis. There are two paths to pushing the boundaries. The first is to address the limitation in the clause “ignoring resource limitations”. The second is to search for computing models that solve problems that no ordinary Turing machine can solve using superrecursive algorithms. We argue that “structural machines” provide a new solution to managing both without disrupting the computation itself.

Abstract:
This work investigates some of the issues and consequences for the field of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, which are related to the perceived limits of computation with current digital equipment. The Church -Turing thesis and the specific properties of Turing machines are examined and some of the philosophical 'in principle' objections, such as the application of G??del's incompleteness theorem, are discussed. It is argued that the misinterpretation of the Church-Turing thesis has led to unfounded assumptions about the limitations of computing machines in general. Modern digital computers, which are based on the von Neuman architecture, can typically be programmed so that they interact effectively with the real word. It is argued that digital computing machines are supersets of Turing machines, if they are, for example, programmed to interact with the real world. Moreover, computing is not restricted to the domain of discrete state machines. Analog computers and real or simulated neural nets exhibit properties that may not be accommodated in a definition of computing, which is based on Turing machines. Consequently, some of the philosophical 'in principle' objections to artificial intelligence may not apply in reference to engineering efforts in artificial intelligence.

Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta relacionada ao ensino e prática do pensamento dedutivo formal em Matemática. São apresentados no âmbito do conjunto dos números Naturais três temas essencialmente interligados: indução/boa ordem, dedução e esquemas de computação representados pela máquina teórica de Turing. Os três temas se amalgamam na teoria lógica de dedução e tangem os fundamentos da Matemática, sua própria indecidibilidade e extensões / limites de tudo que pode ser deduzido utilizando a lógica de Aristóteles, caminho tão profundamente utilizado nos trabalhos de Gödel, Church, Turing, Robinson e outros. São apresentadas inúmeros esquemas de dedução referentes às “fórmulas” e Teoremas que permeiam o ensino fundamental e básico, com uma linguagem apropriada visando treinar os alunos (e professores) para um enfoque mais próprio pertinente à Matemática.
This work deals with the teaching and practice of formal deductive thinking in Mathematics. Three essentially interconnected themes are presented within the set of Natural Numbers: induction, deduction and computation schemes represented by the Turing theoretical machine. The three themes are put together into the logical theory of deduction and touch upon the foundations of Mathematics, its own undecidability and the extent / limits of what can be deduced by using Aristotle's logic, that is the subject in the works of Gödel, Church, Turing, Robinson, and others. There are a large number of deduction schemes referring to the "formulas" and Theorems that are usual subjects in elementary and basic degrees of the educational field, with an appropriate language in order to train students (and teachers) for a more pertinent approach to Mathematics.

Abstract:
Nous cherchons à définir la nature des limitations révélées par les « théorèmes de limitation des formalismes » (Théorèmes de Gödel de 1931, de Church de 1936, et de Turing de 1936-1937). Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons retenu comme fil conducteur Je programme de Hilbert (au sens large) : d'une part la réponse qu'Hilbert espérait apporter au problème des fondements, d'autre part la justification qu'il espérait apporter à l'absence de problèmes mathématiques insolubles. Cela nous a d'abord conduit à proposer une interprétation précise des deux aspects de ce programme. Nous avons ensuite analysé les propositions variées qui ont été faites en réponse à ce programme, incluant en particulier celle de Michael Detlefsen, tout en prenant en compte les résultats d'indécidabilité arithmétiques qui ont été obtenus dans les années 1970. Nous avons pour cela effectué une analyse détaillée de la thèse de Church-Turing. Nous avons également discuté les différentes positions qui ont été défendues dans le cadre du débat induit par l'argument de Lucas-Penrose. Nous avons enfin discuté les réponses que Post, Myhill et Ladrière ont successivement apportées à la question générale posée. Sur la base de l'ensemble de cette analyse, notre propre réponse est que les ces théorèmes mettent en évidence une certaine relativité associée au recours à la formalisation elle-même, qui se caractérise par un ancrage nécessaire bien circonscrit dans la pratique empirique des mathématiques informelles
We want to define the limitations content revealed by the theorems of formalisms limitation (Godel's theorems of 1931, Church's theorem of 1936 and Turing's theorem of 1936-1937). In order to answer this question, we have accepted as main theme Hilbert' s program (in the broad sense) : on the one hand, the answer that Hilbert hoped to give to foundations problem, and on the other hand, the justification he hoped to give to the lack of insoluble mathematical problems. This first lead us to propose a precise interpretation of the two aspects of this program. We have then analyzed the various proposals which have been given in answer this program, including in particular Michael Detlefsen'one, taking into account arithmetical indecidability results obtained in the 1970's. In this aim we have made a detailed analysis of Church-Turing's thesis. We have also discussed the different positions which have been held within the framework induced by Lucas-Penrose's argument. We have then discussed Post, Myhill and Ladrière's successively answers given to the general question asked. On the basis on this whole analysis, our own answer is that these theorems show a kind of relativity in relation with the use of formalization itself, which must be rooted in a confined part of the empirical practice of informal mathematics

Abstract:
This chapter deals with those fields that study computing systems. Among these computational sciences are computer science, computational cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. In the first part of the chapter, it is shown that there are varieties of computation, such as human computation, algorithmic machine computation, and physical computation. There are even varieties of versions of the Church-Turing thesis. The conclusion is that different computational sciences are often about different kinds of computation. The second part of the chapter discusses three specific philosophical issues. One is whether computers are natural kinds. Another issue is the nature of computational theories and explanations. The last section of the chapter relates remarkable results in computational complexity theory to problems of verification and confirmation.

Abstract:
Information is physical, so its manipulation through devices is subject to its own mechanics: the science and engineering of behavioral description, which is intermingled with classical, quantum and statistical mechanics principles. This chapter is a unification of these principles and physical laws with their implications for nanoscale. Ideas of state machines, Church-Turing thesis and its embodiment in various state machines, probabilities, Bayesian principles and entropy in its various forms (Shannon, Boltzmann, von Neumann, algorithmic) with an eye on the principle of maximum entropy as an information manipulation tool. Notions of conservation and non-conservation are applied to example circuit forms folding in adiabatic, isothermal, reversible and irreversible processes. This brings out implications of fluctuation and transitions, the interplay of errors and stability and the energy cost of determinism. It concludes discussing networks as tools to understand information flow and decision making and with an introduction to entanglement in quantum computing.
