Quotes

Herbert Hrachovec
Memmings

The operation of algorithms, biological processes and the logic of certain cognitive attitudes can be investigated in considerable detail without - it seems - any need to refer to memory. A closer look at the programming code fails to reveal any need for this kind of paraphrase, similarly for the other cases. In elaborating what I introduced as cases of science dealing with memory we actually eliminated it from those accounts."
