Abstract:
The radioelectronic industry has accumulated a large arsenal of tools for building computer metaphors, which are applicable for the explication of a philosophical and methodological ideas.
Consider protoneurocomputer-s project developed in 1832 S.N. Korsakov (see Ref. [1]). Imagine a stack of punch cards connectionist machines Korsakov (MK) as a memristor memory. Rhetorical comparison synapse with memristor offered in a number of papers, for example [2]. The scheme of connect of MK given way to represent concurrent connections, more correct than the one that is used in the theory of formal neural networks [1]. Gradual connect directly modeled memristor, describing the continuous link between the signs. Graduated connect takes into account the thresholds of resistance, simulating a multi-valued logic network connections. Binary connect, as noted in [1], not It is not owned of MK. This is - a convenient abstraction, which allows to reduce the MK to a Turing machine and other traditional concepts of computability [3]. Intensional / Exnensional concepts. If punch cards to make transparent, non-transparent needle tab, which fall into the punched holes allow clearly and directly display the communication content and scope of the concept. This is different from the abstract symbolic notation of such an attitude by Euler circles and Venn diagrams.
Holism / atomism. Since each card describes a particular position, and stack - the composition of the private, the view of the side of the stack of punch cards showing the link between the whole and the parts, specifying this relationship. For example, S.N.Korsakov described the use of MK for medical purposes, when a partial description of the disease, organs, drugs «calculated» a holistic, com-plex, but a concrete idea about medical treatment of the patient\'s disease. Continuous / discrete. Legend of such a disposition made homeoscopе with moving parts. Static is connect scheme on a stack of punch cards. The dynamics of content punch card appears when a tab is held on the stack: Tab needle sink into the hole to the depth specified by the gradual and graded values of connects. If the needles are mounted words denoting concepts, the MK provides visualization neopositivist the concept of «the idea of becoming a concept». Paints and musics needles allow represent dynamics of «ideas» in the multimedia format. The depth and strength of the needles penetrate into the holes punched cards of different widths directly and simply modeled resistance of memristors.
MK is convenient to use for the explication of other derivatives, the philosophical problems of the plan. For example, frames the problem: how to build a holistic view of the description of the private domain. As noted in [3], the MK and the Turing machine should be used together. The MK are no automaton transitions of a Turing machine. However, there is a method in the MK of the parallel representation of complex specifications for connectionist punch cards. It is unlikely that it is expedient to build a fully memristor-based computer - such PR offers today a lot. Memristors connects be applied for, but not for instructions.
