Physical Signature of Computation

Discover the groundbreaking insights in Physical Signature of Computation by Neal G. Anderson, published by Oxford University Press in 2024. This hardback edition spans 352 pages and presents the most systematic and comprehensive exploration of computational implementation to date. Co-authored with Piccinini, Anderson delves into a robust mapping account that asserts the crucial relationship between physical states and computational states. The authors argue that for a computation to be considered physically implemented, the physical states must convey an equal amount of information as the computational states they represent. This book is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of computation and physical theory, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or personal collection. Don't miss the opportunity to enhance your understanding of this pivotal topic in the field of computation.
