Dynamic Mereotopology: A Point-free Theory of Changing Regions. I. Stable and unstable mereotopological relations
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: futurism
It sure looks like other philosophers are using the Stone duality in ways that are a lot more sophisticated than my own way!
Abstract In this paper we present a point-free theory of Whiteheadean style of space and time.
In this paper we present a point-free theory of Whiteheadean style of space and time. Its algebraic formulation, called dynamic contact algebra (DCA), is a Boolean algebra whose elements symbolized dynamic regions changing in time, with two spatio-temporal mereotopological relations between them: stable and unstable contact. We prove several representation theorems for DCAs, representing them in structures arising from products of contact algebras or from products of topological spaces. We also present a decidable quantifier-free constraint logic for reasoning about stable and unstable mereotopological relations between dynamic regions. We consider the paper as a first step in point-free dynamic mereotopology.

How FinalSpark Wants to Contribute to a Low Carbon Future. The Energy-saving Potential of Biocomputing
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: futurism, robotics/AI
One of the trade-offs of today’s technological progress is the big energy costs necessary to process digital information. To make AI models using silicon-based processors, we need to train them with huge amounts of data. The more data, the better the model. This is perfectly illustrated by the current success of large language models, such as ChatGPT. The impressive abilities of such models are due to the fact that huge amounts of data were used for their training.
The more data we use to teach digital AI, the better it becomes, but also the more computational power is needed.
This is why to develop AI further; we need to consider alternatives to the current status quo in silicon-based technologies. Indeed, we have recently seen a lot of publications about Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI topic.
