Information Processing

As technologies of automated computation rapidly transform human culture, we are being urged to believe that human minds are machines and machines are potentially minds. But what if the question of machine consciousness is not a hard problem awaiting better theories and technologies, but malformed—born from a metaphysics that first exiled feeling, purpose, and meaning from nature? Remembering the Human Microcosm in the Age of Mechanized Intelligence challenges the corporate myth of “artificial intelligence” and the emerging threat of cognitive enclosure: the attempt to meter and ...

Behind the familiar surfaces of the telephone, radio, and television lies a sophisticated and intriguing body of knowledge known as information theory. This is the theory that has permitted the rapid development of all sorts of communication, from color television to the clear transmission of photographs from the vicinity of Jupiter. Even more revolutionary progress is expected in the future.  

What kind of reality must exist for a quantum computer to work? David Deutsch did not merely help pioneer quantum computation. He challenged physics to rethink reality itself. In David Deutsch and the Quantum Multiverse, Clayton Louis Turnage explores one of the boldest thinkers in modern quantum foundations. Deutsch argues that quantum mechanics is not just a tool for predicting experiments — it is a description of a vast physical reality where the wave function is real, collapse never occurs, and our world may be only one branch of an immense quantum multiverse. This book examines ...

Quantum Information Systems is designed with a singular, unyielding philosophy: Implementation over Abstraction. For too long, the field of quantum computing has been confined to the realms of theoretical physics and advanced mathematics. While those disciplines are the bedrock of the technology, they often act as a barrier to entry for computer scientists, software engineers, and IT professionals who want to actually build quantum applications. The philosophy of this book is to democratize quantum technology by treating it as an engineering discipline. I focused strictly on the "how-to": ...

This book explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on search engines, highlighting the evolution from traditional keyword-based systems to advanced AI-powered platforms. The journey begins with the early days of search engines, which relied on simple algorithms and manual indexing. As the internet expanded, the need for more sophisticated search mechanisms arose, leading to the emergence of algorithmic and semantic search capabilities. The role of AI in modern search is profound, enabling enhanced understanding of user intent, personalization, and continuous ...

In recent years, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has witnessed a profound shift in how projects are designed, coordinated, and executed. At the forefront of this transformation is Building Information Modeling (BIM), a digital revolution reshaping the way we approach the design and integration of complex systems. For MEP engineers—those responsible for the design and coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems—BIM has unlocked new possibilities, enabling enhanced collaboration, greater efficiency, and increased precision. As someone who ...

This exhilarating collection of essays, interviews, and correspondence—spanning the years 1988 through 2018, and reaching back a decade more—is about the simple concept that ideas matter. They mutate, inform, create fuel for thought, and inspire actions. As Kelman says, the State relies on our suffocation, that we cannot hope to learn the truth. But whether we can or not is beside the point. We must grasp the nettle, we assume control and go forward.

Do you find it difficult to see the big picture sometimes? Can that lead to you making dangerous assumptions? Do you want to be able to eliminate this from your decision making?
