RANT’IN İKİ BOYUTU: RANT ARAYIŞI YE TEŞVİK OLARAK RANTLAR

Rant on Turing

Nature just had a special issue with essays on Turing. Sydney Brenner’s was good, but most of them were not so (but short, so I recommend reading them anyway). Anyway, what can be done to fix this and write a better paper or collection of papers using Turing as a starting point? The immediate target audience would be roughly typical Nature readers (though Nature itself would never accept a rigo...
