Now available as open access from MIT Press: Dennett’s Real Patterns in Science and Nature. What does the concept of a “pattern”—as used in information theory and modern AI tell us about some of the deepest questions in science and philosophy? From automated pattern recognition in machine learning to biological neural networks honed by evolution, patterns are everywhere. In his classic paper “Real Patterns,” Daniel Dennett offered a framework to connect information-theoretic patterns to scientific practice and human cognition. This new volume the first dedicated to Dennett’s idea follows that roadmap. Editors Tyler Millhouse, Steve Petersen, and Don Ross explore patterns across physics, biology, economics, causality and even large neural networks. 🔗 Read free here: https://lnkd.in/ezET8p_c #InformationTheory #ArtificialIntelligence #DanielDennett #Emergence #Physics #Neuroscience #Philosophy #MachineLearning #OpenAccess
