Perspectives on Ergodicity (an on-going research)
Logic |Breaking down reasoning into infinite steps
→ every step is clearly justified
→ reasoning can be done mechanically with reference to the formal axiom system (and on which logic can be implemented)
Computation |
Algorithm → mechanical procedure → induction & recursion
Recursion |
The reduction of instances into simpler ones
→ Parallelism: cells are checking and at the same time proceeding
→ Locality: every cell looks at just the neighboring ones
→ Homogeneity: all the cells follow the same rule
Cybernetics |
Communication (and information) + control
(information is any difference that makes a difference and has nothing to do with meaning)
information → how to transmit efficiently → highly engineered
Cybernetic Arts → *control + constraint
→ communication + interference
→ ergodic art (probability) – message that isn’t determinant
[eg. Markov Chain (system) – matrix of transition probabilities (the expression of the frequency of events)]
*control: coupling of machines/system; interference – permanent changes vs. distortion – temporary changes
