A Note on Turing's Three Pioneering Initiatives and on Their Interplays
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to remind three fundamental contributions by A. M. Turing to three important fields of contemporary science and engineering (theory of computation, artificial intelligence, and biocomputing), and to emphasize the connections between them. The article reminds and formulates resp., also three hypotheses related to the three initiatives and discuss in short their mutual interrelatedness.

Turing's theory of morphogenesis of 1952 and the subsequent discovery of the crucial role of local self-enhancement and long-range inhibition.
In his pioneering work, Alan Turing showed that de novo pattern formation is possible if two substances interact that differ in their diffusion range. Since then, we have shown that pattern formation is possible if, and only if, a self-enhancing reaction is coupled with an antagonistic process of longer range. Knowing this crucial condition has enabled us to include nonlinear interactions, whic...
متن کاملLEARNER INITIATIVES ACROSS QUESTION-ANSWER SEQUENCES: A CONVERSATION ANALYTIC ACCOUNT OF LANGUAGE CLASSROOM DISCOURSE
This paper investigates learner-initiated responses to English language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. Classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...
متن کاملAutopoiesis + extended cognition + nature = can buildings think?
To incorporate metabolic, bioremedial functions into the performance of buildings and to balance generative architecture's dominant focus on computational programming and digital fabrication, this text first discusses hybridizing Maturana and Varela's biological theory of autopoiesis with Andy Clark's hypothesis of extended cognition. Doing so establishes a procedural protocol to research biolo...
متن کاملDesigning a Cultural Efficiency Model for Elementary School Teachers based on Culturally Relevant Pedagogy
Being an efficient educator is a virtue that includes the notion of cultural efficiency as well. To assess the extent to which Iranian teachers/educators are culturally efficient a model is needed by which different components of this construct are clearly defined. To design such a model a group of ten elementary school teachers with maximum cultural diversity was selected and then asked to wri...
متن کاملA note on primary-like submodules of multiplication modules
Primary-like and weakly primary-like submodules are two new generalizations of primary ideals from rings to modules. In fact, the class of primary-like submodules of a module lie between primary submodules and weakly primary-like submodules properly. In this note, we show that these three classes coincide when their elements are submodules of a multiplication module and satisfy the primeful pr...
