<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">Comments on Joe Brenner: Information in Operation: Probability<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">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>so many</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>based on this <background/foreground>,
</i><span>one would expect a</span><i> different <foreground/background>. </i>It
may appear a heroic undertaking of accounting to filter out the connections
between background and foreground <i>as such,
</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. <span></span></p>

PARADIGM OF NATURAL INTELLIGENCE<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt">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.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
