Deutsch's Universal Quantum Turing Machine (Revisited)
Deutsch, Feynman, and Manin viewed quantum computing as a kind of universal physical simulation procedure. Much of the writing about quantum Turing machines has shown how these machines can simulate an arbitrary unitary transformation on a finite number of qubits.

A Small Universal Petri Net [PDF]
A universal deterministic inhibitor Petri net with 14 places, 29 transitions and 138 arcs was constructed via simulation of Neary and Woods' weakly universal Turing machine with 2 states and 4 symbols; the total time complexity is exponential in the ...

On the Proper Treatment of Dynamics in Cognitive Science
Abstract This essay examines the relevance of dynamical ideas for cognitive science. On its own, the mere mathematical idea of a dynamical system is too weak to serve as a scientific theory of anything, and dynamical approaches within cognitive science are too rich and varied to be subsumed under a single “dynamical hypothesis.” Instead, after first ...

Contra Automata: Pride and Prejudice? [PDF]
The quality of Machine Translation (i.e. translation performed without direct human intervention) keeps improving, and yet it is often unfavourably considered. Machines don’t look like us humans, obviously; moreover, machines don’t think.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

From Analog to Digital Computing: Is Homo sapiens’ Brain on Its Way to Become a Turing Machine?
The abstract basis of modern computation is the formal description of a finite state machine, the Universal Turing Machine, based on manipulation of integers and logic symbols.

Universality and programmability of quantum computers [PDF]
Manin, Feynman, and Deutsch have viewed quantum computing as a kind of universal physical simulation procedure. Much of the writing about quantum logic circuits and quantum Turing machines has shown how these machines can simulate an arbitrary unitary ...
