自由意志与下落的猫
Free Will and Falling Cats
AI总结:
本文以落猫翻身问题为例,指出将猫视为T不变的孤立力学系统无法解释其着地能力,而应将其理解为能为目的改变形状的生物,并据此构建观察运动的说明框架。
摘要:
如果我们把猫视为一个受T不变力学支配的孤立力学系统,那么它从静止释放后能够四脚着地的能力就令人费解。更恰当的做法是把猫看作一种能够为实现目的而改变自身形状的生物。在该框架内,我们可以对所观察到的运动构建一个有用且富有启发性的说明。人们可以从这个例子中获得教益。
英文摘要:
If we consider a cat to be an isolated mechanical system governed by T-invariant mechanics, then its ability to land on its feet after being released from rest is incomprehensible. It is more appropriate to treat the cat as a creature that can change its shape in order to accomplish a purpose. Within that framework we can construct a useful and informative of the observed motion. One can learn from this example.
