Background discussions on a proposed
Anticipatory Technology Challenge Problem
<
future reflections on Paul (W)’s
brief note à
>
Hi, folks!
I cannot track this discussion in detail... hardly any time... but if you were aiming at "anticipatory web"... if it were a proposal to NSF (which it is NOT!)... I would suggest some reference somewhere to the prior work specifically of Giles, of Jose Principe, of Kohonen, and of LeCun as part of it. (And if there were a LOT of time, I would bring in my ObjectNets and chapter 10 of the old Handbook).
But... back to other issues...
Best of luck,
Paul W.
Thank you Paul,
Robert Rosen wrote a book called Anticipatory Systems, ... I think it was 1988. You and I have a disagreement over the importance of Rosen. The dispute can be framed in the language of Penrose.... but we have covered this ground before. It has to do with:..

Why not lay these things out in the open. The scholars can now do this with the thematic representation of scholarly debate on such issues.

The first thing I would do if funded, will be to ask several graduate students to do a complete literature review of all work that has called itself "anticipatory". Of course Kohonen has something to say about this!!!! As do you.
But there is no anticipatory technology available to the IC, now is there?
My approach, as you may know, is based squarely on Karl Pribram's work on Perception, Brain and Perception, 1991. But the holonomic constraints are the convolutions over a set of n-aries. These n-aries are from human effort to encode information, as in Ballard's Mark 3, or from co-occurrence patterns. I could say more.
If the co-occurrence is latent indexing and the substructural ontology is known, as it is in the periodic table of physical atoms, then an indexing between substructure and compounds gives one a structure/function entanglement... this is what Finn and Pospelov where looking for in the former Soviet Union as they developed applied semiotics.
So Q-SAR and stratification of ontology creates a formative ontology that is both differential and situational.
