AI总结:

本文以信息计算视角重构认知理论,将认知建模为跨物理、化学与生物层次的形态计算网络,并连接生态认知计算主义与具身智能研究。

摘要:

本研究旨在将 Lorenzo Magnani 的生态认知计算主义置于当前关于信息、计算和认知的更广泛研究背景中。传统上,认知被认为是人类独有的,并且是大脑活动的结果。然而,近期研究表明,认知是所有生命形式的基本特征,涵盖从单细胞到复杂多细胞生物及其网络。尽管如此,关于认知的文献和普遍理解仍在很大程度上以人脑为中心,从而导致概念空白和不一致。本文提出多种计算(信息处理)方法,包括一种关于认知的信息计算方法:在该方法中,相对于正在观察和认知的主体,自然结构表征信息,而自然结构上的动态过程被视为计算。我们将认知建模为一个由并发形态计算构成的网络,这些计算由跨越物理、化学和生物领域的自组装、自组织和自创生过程驱动。我们考察了将形态计算、形态发生、能动性、基底认知、扩展进化综合论和主动推断联系起来的近期发现。我们建立了与 Magnani 的生态认知计算主义以及无知实体的计算驯化思想之间的联系。新的理论与应用洞见对传统认知计算模型的边界提出质疑。传统模型优先考虑符号处理,往往忽视不同组织层次上主体物理具身化的内在约束与潜能。更好地从信息计算角度理解认知具身性,对于推动生物学、进化研究、人工智能、机器人学、医学等领域的发展至关重要。

英文摘要:

This study aims to place Lorenzo Magnanis Eco-Cognitive Computationalism within the broader context of current work on information, computation, and cognition. Traditionally, cognition was believed to be exclusive to humans and a result of brain activity. However, recent studies reveal it as a fundamental characteristic of all life forms, ranging from single cells to complex multicellular organisms and their networks. Yet, the literature and general understanding of cognition still largely remain human-brain-focused, leading to conceptual gaps and incoherency. This paper presents a variety of computational (information processing) approaches, including an info-computational approach to cognition, where natural structures represent information and dynamical processes on natural structures are regarded as computation, relative to an observing cognizing agent. We model cognition as a web of concurrent morphological computations, driven by processes of self-assembly, self-organisation, and autopoiesis across physical, chemical, and biological domains. We examine recent findings linking morphological computation, morphogenesis, agency, basal cognition, extended evolutionary synthesis, and active inference. We establish a connection to Magnanis Eco-Cognitive Computationalism and the idea of computational domestication of ignorant entities. Novel theoretical and applied insights question the boundaries of conventional computational models of cognition. The traditional models prioritize symbolic processing and often neglect the inherent constraints and potentialities in the physical embodiment of agents on different levels of organization. Gaining a better info-computational grasp of cognitive embodiment is crucial for the advancement of fields such as biology, evolutionary studies, artificial intelligence, robotics, medicine, and more.
