The Microscopic Representation Method. MICRO - the relevant microscopic degrees of freedom INTER - their fundamental interactions MACRO - the macroscopic emerging collective objects Intrinsically interdisciplinary: -Micro belongs to one science -Macro to another science -Mechanisms: statistical mechanics (?) phase transitions, scale invariance, spontaneous symmetry breaking etc At 100 0 C nothing special happens to one or two H 2 O molecules! or 100 or 1000! How come that 1 Kg of them behave so dramatically?

Fundamentalists believe the market will eventually revert to the fundamental price. Hence, the price they offer will be determined by: Chartists, believe in trends they. The simplest choice for short times is a linear extrapolation Noise-traders are making “ random ” offers at a price randomly distributed around the current price.

To what elementary receptors are sensitive? - line-like features such as contours or frontiers passing through the or - point-like features such as corners or line-ends? - the position and velocity of the microscopic features, or - also to their acceleration -Answer: - micros: corners and line-ends - use mainly positions and velocities -instead of the complicated exact algorithms, approximate ad-hoc ones -=> macroscopic illusions predicted and confirmed T=1 T=2 T=3

TRACES OF MIND Emergence of Representation in Drawing: The Relation Between Kinematic and Referential Aspects Ester Adi-Japha, Iris Levin and S. Solomon Cognitive Development 13, 25-51 (1998)

We identified and characterized children 2-3 yrs When / how do they first associate representational meaning to their drawings? Breaks. discrete sharp corners in their own drawings: not to the drawings of other children only shortly having experienced the act of drawing Breaks discrete mental events

Our findings can be summarized as follows - In the drawing process one can identify inertial periods of a few seconds in which nothing happens with respect to representation -During these periods the motion is characterized by a simple kinematic rule.

These inertial kinematical periods are interrupted by discrete events characterized by a Break in the continuity of the velocity and direction of the pencil motion Breaks turn out to be the central element of the present work

representational meaning  Breaks smooth kinematic inertial parts  nonsignicant Breaks are correlated with a posteriori representation

Testing the Turing Test Do Men pass it?

Turing test: ‘ imitation game’“ I propose to consider the question “ Can machines think?”... I shall replace the question by another... The new form of the problem can be described in terms of a game which we call the ‘ imitation game’. (A.M Turing (1950) Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Mind 49 :433-360

The participate in the test: Interrogator : Needs to discover who is the human and who is the computer. Human: Aims to help the interrogator. Computer: aims to fool the interrogator. The interrogator is allowed only to ask them questions. But can ask any and as many questions as he wants.

“… in about fifty years’ time … interrogator will not have more than 70 percent chance of making the right identification … ” A.M Turing, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, Mind 49 (1950) 433,

Method: between a man and a womanDoing the imitation game not between human and computer but between a man and a woman. Interrogator: needs to discover who is the man and who is the woman. Turing said – can be of either sex Woman: Aim to help the interrogator. Man: Aim to fool the interrogator. Turing himself talks about imitation game between man and woman!

“ We now ask the question “What will happen when a machine takes the part of A in this game? “Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman? These questions replace our original, “Can machines think?” ”

Turing assumed that humans can pass the test – but this assumption has not been tested

results: The men in the imitation game are reveled (80%). In this case, an intelligent creature can’t imitate another intelligent creature. Turing test is not valid. Turing deduced his test from the imitation game.

B The virons from the strain detected by the cells with complementary shape are destroyed. The mutant ones have different shape. They are not detected (yet) so they multiply unhindered.

B B B The initial strain has now disappeared. The acute phase: primary infection, is finished. The mutants are still undetected. This strain has so small population that even an immune cell with complementary shape doesn’t meet/detect any of its individuals.

B B B After the initial strain is destroyed, the immune cells with complementary shape do not meet any excitation and they die without multiplying. Some “memory cells” with the information of the initial strain shape are left (forever). In the meantime one of the mutant strains is detected 
