Physical Computation: A Mechanistic Account
Piccinini, Gualtiero (University of Missouri, St. Louis)
Computation permeates our world, but a satisfactory philosophical theory of what it is has been lacking. Gualtiero Piccinini presents a mechanistic account of what makes a physical system a computing system. He argues that computation does not entail representation or information-processing, although information-processing entails computation.
