your very kind and also very pertinent comments. I have just had the further
good fortune of receiving a manuscript for review with the title: “A Note on
the Reality of Incomputable Real Numbers and Its Systemic Significance”. I
immediately thought of you, especially when I saw that the paper defines a
dynamic domain of what the author calls “continuous-emergent” computation”,
using process language. The author thus bridges what had been for me a
difficult gap between the evolution of real processes and certain properties of
numbers and their computability (or lack of it). Keywords are logical openness
and incompleteness, including incomplete modelling. (For some of you, this will
be enough to identify the author.) I feel that the insights in this paper are
directly relevant to both the dynamics of information and of other processes as
described by Logic in Reality.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Comments on Joe Brenner:
Information in Operation: Probability<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Once again, Joseph’s
train of thought is a textbook example of the truism, that Philosophy is the
mother of all sciences, and that one can recognise (a part) of philosophic
sentences as true, if their content is being observed in her daughters’
contextual framework, too. Those divinations within the realm, where there are
unanswered questions, which result in empirical verification, are commonly
understood to be true.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>What Joseph says is that
the system of rational relations leaves something necessarily aside, which is
not accessible by its methods. The background to rational thinking is of course
irrational. There is something, besides, alongside, around the system created
by rational thoughts, and how this relates to that what we can clearly
understand is what Philosophy centres on. Adorno criticised Wittgenstein’s
refusal to deal with the inexact, saying that the job of a philosopher is to
address that, what is unknown, not to describe the grammar of that, what is
already known. Joseph speaks about that, what was hopelessly inexplicable in Wittgenstein’s
time. At that time, cataloguing, systematising and regulating that what was
known was a necessary step to consolidate and to serve as a basis for the next
step.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The general observations
by Joseph about the landscape of the unknown treat the subject in terms of
probability and countability. His philosophic thoughts have already given birth
to a daughter-science, of which the name is not yet decided, but many will
recognise familiar features of the new-born.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Advancing from the basis
laid down by Wittgenstein, knowledge gained from insights into the grammar and
syntax of logical sentences has led the technical daughter to experiment with
demonstrative examples of probability and countability. Results from the
workshop support the design concepts from the creatives. In fact, the known and
the unknown have to interact, as we continue living in a world that consists of
foregrounds and backgrounds, which at times can be interchanged. The relation
of the background to the foreground may remain a philosophical mystery forever,
but systematically exchanging the background-foreground properties observed on
an experimental population set free in its natural habitat shows that there are
laws of interactions between the two. These touch on probability and
countability. Seen from the inside, it is very hard to decide, which tools of
prediction one uses when observing predictable periodic changes: are these the
positions, the masses involved, their speed, their history or their personal properties?
The property of being <i><span style='font-style:italic'>so many</span></i> is
one among many other determinants. If the background is axiomatic to the
foreground, there is no information, as Joseph points out. Information is
involved, if <i><span style='font-style:italic'>based on this
<background/foreground>, </span></i>one would expect a<i><span
style='font-style:italic'> different <foreground/background>. </span></i>It
may appear a heroic undertaking of accounting to filter out the connections
between background and foreground <i><span style='font-style:italic'>as such, </span></i>but
it helps immensely, if we have a conceptual picture of how two interdependent
logical systems interact, irrespectively of how one names them. In Joe’s case,
these are named Logic and Reality. Wittgenstein called them that, what we can
and that we cannot speak about exactly. Our neurology suggests we see them as a
contrast-generating dichotomy. Experiments with logical primitives show that
the problem can be studied in great detail. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

PARADIGM OF NATURAL INTELLIGENCE<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>It will be
argued that intelligence is a universal phenomenon present in all forms of
life. It requires a new form of relationship with the environment, implying not
only openness to energy flows but to information flows as well. External
information processing, coupled with internal information processing, may
produce an adaptive life cycle that manifests (natural) intelligence, produces
meaning, and realizes fitness value. Out from the basic prokaryotic
conformation, the unit of natural intelligence, it may develop hierarchically,
via multicellularity, and particularly with the evolution of nervous systems.
Then, natural intelligence fully develops up to the point, in the human case,
of exhibiting pieces of artificial intelligence that mimic some of the basic properties
of the former. It will be finally argued that without a proper understanding of
natural intelligence, the scientific foundations of artificial intelligence
will be shaky--notwithstanding the technological grandeur it is effectively
achieving. But unbridled, half-understood technologies are not a panacea for
societies. Often the opposite.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
