Description

In The Physical Signature of Computation, Neal Anderson and Gualtiero Piccinini present the robust mapping account. This work offers a systematic, rigorous, and comprehensive account of computational implementation. By drawing on recent results from physical information theory, the authors argue that mapping accounts of implementation become adequate when they incorporate appropriate physical constraints. The text explores how these physical constraints serve as the key for establishing that a computation is physically implemented through mappings from physical to computational states. This book provides a deep look into the relationship between physical states and computational processes, making it a significant resource for those studying information systems and computer science theory.
