The Machine as Data: A Computational View of Emergence and Definability
S. Barry Cooper
Turing's (1936) paper on computable numbers has played its role in underpinning different perspectives on the world of information. On the one hand, it encourages a digital ontolog…
The Mathematician's Bias - and the Return to Embodied Computation
S. Barry Cooper
There are growing uncertainties surrounding the classical model of computation established by Gödel, Church, Kleene, Turing and others in the 1930s onwards. The mismatch between th…
The Incomputable Alan Turing
S. Barry Cooper
The last century saw dramatic challenges to the Laplacian predictability which had underpinned scientific research for around 300 years. Basic to this was Alan Turing's 1936 discov…
Definability in the Real Universe
S. Barry Cooper
Logic has its origins in basic questions about the nature of the real world and how we describe it. This article seeks to bring out the physical and epistemological relevance of so…
