Beethoven Hegel Adorno Mazzola

Depending on the definition picked from Mazzola for creativity, we face the problem of new-ness, but I don't much see new-ness as that much related to creativity as I do not see creativity as moving into being ex nihilo. Indeed, when we say animals are creative, we usually mean that they make babies of the same type, not new kinds of animals.


We do, however, moving toward ex nihilo, tend to think of creativity in the arts as tiger-alligators.


I am, however, content with creativity in the ordinary sense: the act of making.

When Mazzola lays out his scheme for creativity, i.e., the act of making, not the shamanistic act of bringing the new into being, his terms for creativity move closer to this sense of making, which, put in terms of context-concept, are somewhat Hegelian:

A Heidegger - Bayes Hybrid Model

By

A Conjecture for a Hybrid Model Bayesian epistemology concerns modelling and specifically, belief, but a Bayesian belief does not need to be fully formed to emerge alongside the Heideggerian to-hand. The Heideggerian to-hand thereby becomes the interaction that generates this further, which is, with this interaction, a certain realization of being in the world. Bayesian selection now concerns available beliefs as well as any to-hand [belief(s)].

Computing and the Linguistic Turn

By

Enigma (Wikipedia) Symbolic analysis and statistical analysis were both approaches codebreakers took in breaking Enigma. The development of AI has also incorporated both approaches. One historical question for AI is why the dominance of Symbolic AI from 1950 to 1990? Note the development of AI out of the Dartmouth Workshop and especially the contributions of one of its attendees,  Ray Solomonoff , to the statistical approach, an approach taken up by Marcus Hutter , a DeepMind  researcher. Note too that along with the difference between the symbolic and the statistical is the difference between language learning and computer vision. The turn Richard Sutton takes is to push learning outside the context of language, which is to push computing beyond its linguistic turn. ~ * ~ The Bitter Lesson First Richard Sutton Richard Sutton Site On Learning as Other than a Mimicry of Language A Basis for Adjustment The Bitter Lesson ~ * ~ Tommy Flowers Tommy Flowers (Wikipedia) Tommy Flowe...
