Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

The consciousness debate is often trapped between two extremes: either the brain is “just software” (computational ...

Computer scientist Lance Fortnow writes that by embracing the computations that surround us, we can begin to understand and tame our seemingly random world. Bohr: Algebra is like sheet music. The ...

The proposal that evolution could be used as a metaphor for problem solving came with the invention of the computer 1. In the 1970s and 1980s the principal idea was developed into different ...

Algorithms are everywhere, supposedly. We are living in an “algorithmic culture,” to use the author and communication scholar Ted Striphas’s name for it. Google’s search algorithms determine how we ...

Computation in Architecture explores the critical consideration of contemporary modelling and fabrication technologies as a driver for thinking, forming and realising architecture. With a specific ...
