Lost in the hermeneutic hall of mirrors
Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence 2:321-27 (1990)
Abstract
Critique of Computationalism as merely projecting hermeneutics (i.e., meaning originating from the mind of an external interpreter) onto otherwise intrinsically meaningless symbols. Projecting an interpretation onto a symbol system results in its being reflected back, in a spuriously self-confirming wayAuthor's Profile
