A factored represenation<\/a> splits up each state into a fixed set of variables or attributes, each of which can have a value.

\nFor many purposes we need to understand<\/strong> the world as having things<\/em> in it that are related to each other, not just variables with values.<\/strong> […] A factored represenation is unlikely to be pre-equipped with the attribute TruckAheadBackingIntoDairyFarmDrivewayBlockedByLooseCow with value true or false.\u00a0 Instead, we would need a structured representation, in which objects such as cows and trucks and their various and varying relationships can be described explicitly. [..] Structured representations underlie relational databases and first-order logic […] and much of natural language understanding. […] In fact, almost everything that humans express in natural language concerns objects and their relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ich kann mich an eine Zeit in meiner technischen Schulausbildung erinnern, in der ich frustriert von Phasendiagrammen, St\u00fccklisten und Qualit\u00e4tssicherungsverfahren\u00a0 Zuflucht in B\u00fccher der humanistischen Tradition genommen habe. Erich Fromms “Haben oder Sein”, Adornos Halbbildung , Walter Benjamins Kapitalismuskritik<\/a>. Viele Informationen dar\u00fcber habe ich aus dem WWW gezogen. Ich nutzte die Vorteile der Technokratie, um mich von ihr abzuwenden und die Beschr\u00e4nktheit meiner Ausbildung zu beklagen.<\/p>\n

Nach 4-j\u00e4hrigem Besuch von Lehrveranstaltungen im Institut f\u00fcr Philosophie und an der Fakult\u00e4t Informatik in Wien wurden meine emotionalen Reaktionen gegen Technik und Technik-naher Wissenschaften milder. Ich musste mich auf verschiedene Weisen mit der These konfrontieren, dass Technokratie und humanistische Bildung zwei Punkte im Zeitstrom einer platonischen Doppel-Helix bilden. Zwei Punkte, die in manchen Momenten die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Distanz zueinander aufweisen und dessen Richtungspfeile ganz woanders hinzeigen. Es scheint uns in Augenblicken so, als h\u00e4tten die beiden Punkte nicht nur nichts miteinander zu tun sondern liefen auf etwas diametral Entgegengesetztes hinaus.<\/p>\n

Was l\u00e4sst sich daraus machen? Jedenfalls ist es kurzsichtig, auf die ablauf-und hierarchie-orientierten Apparate einzudreschen (in beiderlei Sinn) und zu glauben, dass damit die Komplexit\u00e4t unseres Alltags geringer wird und wir endlich einen Zustand der freien Entfaltung erreichen.\u00a0 Der nackte Wunsch nach diesem Zustand ist selbst eine Black Box in einem Getriebe. Nun – auf dem Weg zur Relation…<\/p>\n
