Computation as Knowledge Generation, with Application to the Observer-Relativity Problem
Original language description
We elaborate our recent thesis [Wiedermann, J. van Leeuwen , J: Rethinking computation. Proc. 6th AISB Symp. on Computing and Philosophy: The Scandal of Computation - What is Computation?, AISB Convention 2013 (Exeter, UK), AISB, 2013, pp. 6-10] statingthat computation is a process of knowledge generation. We give two conditions for a process to be computational, i.e. to be a knowledge generating process. First, the epistemic domain in which the computation is carried out must be known, and second, there must be evidence that the generated knowledge is indeed derivable within the underlying domain of discourse by the rules governing the domain and the underlying computational mechanism. The fulfillment of these conditions may be decided by an observerwhich, again, is modeled as a computational process according to our definition. As a consequence, our definition of computation is observer-relative. The viability of our definition is scrutinized by several examples of computations con
