Beyond Zero and One (Andrew Smart)
Rare events cluster in time
Kevin’s point was that if you know what to look for, these kinds of faults are all over the place, but they are normally just treated as “anomalies.” A series of random anomalies might actually be a systematic pattern of faults with a single origin, like a crack. These kinds of…

Information does not require a conscious mind to perceive, much less appreciate, the pattern
Information is any type of pattern that influences the formation or transformation of other patterns. In this sense, there is no need for a conscious mind to perceive, much less appreciate, the pattern. Consider, for example, DNA. The sequence of nucleotides is a pattern that…
Introducing Artificial Intelligence (Henry Brighton and Howard Selina)
A property spread across many neurons
So, in a distributed representation, a single neuron is unlikely to be responsible for representing the number of legs of our candidate animal. Instead, the number of legs would be represented by a complex pattern of activity over a wide number of neurons. Some of these neurons…

Knowledge discovery in escience
Each Knowlet has an ‘attraction’ to each other Knowlet with similar concepts in its ‘Object Cloud’, while some knowlets have very little to do with each other and may even repulse each other, some others may move closer and close in the Concept Web, pushed and pulled by many…

when you know for sure that your separate ego is a fiction, you actually feel yourself AS the whole process and pattern of life. Experience and experiencer become one experiencing, known and knower one knowing. Each organism experiences this from a different standpoint and in a…
An organism is what it does

The Diggicore Project: Aggregating And Mining The World Of Open Access Articles
Mining open access for research trends
identify patterns in the behaviour of research communities, to recognise trends in research disciplines, to learn new insights about the citation behaviours of researchers, to discover new features that distinguish papers with high impact, etc.
Towards An Ontology Of Software: A Requirements Engineering Perspective
A program as an abstract artifact
Consider now a program, constituted by a certain code. Let us observe first that this is not a physical object, as it lacks a location in space. So, in pace with Irmak, we take a program to be a particular kind of abstract artifact. On one hand, it behaves like a type (or…
