Our initial premise is that computation as we know it is formally derived from our bodies' internal processing, via our neural processors. Going backwards in time, our bodies' internal processing is in turn derived from wider Nature's own style of processing, which in turn is a rendition of the Universe's processing following the Big Bang. Computation is described as consisting of two intimately connected parts: comparative processing and conclusive processing. Our examination of post-Big Bang processing, biological processing, neural processing and human thinking supports our initial premise and the conclusion that computation is the motor for evolutionary emergence across the entire timescale of the Universe.
我们的初始前提是,我们所知的计算形式上源自我们身体的内部处理,通过我们的神经处理器。回溯时间,我们身体的内部处理反过来又源自更广泛的自然自身的处理方式,而这种处理方式又是大爆炸后宇宙处理方式的一种表现。计算被描述为由两个紧密相连的部分组成:比较处理和结论处理。我们对大爆炸后处理、生物处理、神经处理和人类思维的研究支持了我们的初始前提,即计算是宇宙整个时间尺度上进化出现的动力。
