Extrinsic-intrinsic concept & complementarity

چکیده
Epistemological, the intrinsic/extrinsic concept, or, by another naming [1, 2], the endophysics/exophysics concept, is related to the question of how a mathematical or a logical or an algorithmic universe is perceived from within/from the outside. The physical universe, by definition, can be perceived from within only. Extrinsic or exophysical perception can be conceived as a hierarchical process, in which the system under observation and the experimenter form a two-level hierarchy. The system is laid out and the experimenter peeps at every relevant feature of it without changing it. The restricted entanglement between the system and the experimenter can be represented by a one-way information flow from the system to the experimenter; the system is not affected by the experimenter’s actions. (Logicians might prefer the term meta over exo.) Intrinsic or endophysical perception can be conceived as a non-hierarchical effort. The experimenter is part of the universe under observation. Experiments use devices and procedures which are realisable by internal resources, i.e., from within the universe. The total integration of the experimenter in the observed system can be represented by a two-way information flow, where “measurement apparatus” and “observed entity” are interchangeable and any distinction between them is merely a matter of intent and convention. Endophysics is limited by the self-referential character of any measurement. An intrinsic measurement can often be related to the paradoxical attempt to obtain the “true” value of an observable while — through interaction — it causes “disturbances” of the entity to be measured, thereby changing its state. Among other questions one may ask, “what kind of experiments are intrinsically operational and what type of theories will be intrinsically reasonable?” Imagine, for example, some artificial intelligence living in a (hermetic) cyberspace. This agent might develop a “natural science” by performing experiments and developing theories. It is tempting to speculate that also a figure in a novel, imagined by the poet and the reader, is such an agent. Since in cyberspace only syntactic structures are relevant, one might wonder if concerns of this agent about its “hardware basis,” e.g., whether it is “made of” billard balls,

متن کاملIntrinsic Value: Towards A Pragmatic Theory
Intrinsic value is a concept central to the environmentalist movement. Whether one believes that natural objects have intrinsic value is supposed to determine whether one takes a ecocentric or homocentric approach to environmentalism, whether we practice deep or (merely) shallow ecology. Yet this concept is also a center of controversy and confusion. Just what does it mean for something to ha...
