Computational evolutionary epistemology, basis and usages
Cost and benefits of creativity within a natural selection closure
introduction, usage, justification of chapters and their order, recommendations for optimal reading
- Epistemology
chapter justification/transition
- Epistemology (maybe the whole chapter is too early)
- Naturalized epistemology (to link with chapter on life as information system)
- Evolutionary epistemology (to compare with the more structured Stanford Philosophy article)
- Multiple discovery (rather out of the blue)
- Behind the Mirror: A Search for a Natural History of Human Knowledge (not enough content, not seminal enough)
- Donald T. Campbell (biography probably not really required)
- Computational epistemology
- Information theory
transition
- Information theory (difference with CS, IT, ... yet why CEE makes sense)
- Shannon's source coding theorem (to justify)
- Perceptual control theory
- Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory
- Rolf Landauer (biography probably not really required, if deleted make sure "Information is physical" is highlighted somewhere else)
- Information geometry (more generally how advances in mathematics, information theory and computation should lead to radical cost reduction of the entire process, maybe emulating more closely the evolutionary process through dedicated hardware and method)
- Life as an information system
transition
- Negentropy
- Homeostasis (eventually Cybernetics for control)
- Enaction
- Cell membrane
- Dual inheritance theory
- Machine Learning in particular for Adversarial Machine Learning and based on Computational learning theory
nothing on evolution? phylogeny?
- Creativity as a survival strategy
transition
- Evolutionary arms race
- Red Queen's Hypothesis (still required?)
- Evolution strategy
- CMA-ES (why CMA-ES rather than others? nothing on the history of meta-heuristics?)
- Computational creativity
- Foundations for a proposal
transition
- Programming paradigm
- Dataflow programming
- Computational phylogenetics (in particular NeXML and PhyloWS)
addition of Phylogenetic flow programming?
- Conclusion
- remarks
- opening
