Intentionality is the Mark of the Vital

One of my favorite papers from Nick is the paper „Intentionality is the Mark of the Vital“. Maybe because every piece of code I write as a developer has a certain purpose and intention. Genetic code contains instructions & recipes too. It has an „intention“. Why is that so many of the good papers are a collaboration of two persons from different departments?

J. Many of my collaborators have been philosophers, such as Derr, Bybee, Lipton, and Barker, who, while disagreeing with me profoundly on many matters, have generously helped me shape my ideas in some degree palatable to the field while opening my eyes to whole realms of philosophy I would not otherwise have encountered.. The same is true of FRIAM which has bemused me with complexity, mathematics, and the mysteries of algorithmic thinking and has kept me “in the biz” deep into retirement. There is no greater kindness.

Why is that so many of the good papers are a collaboration of two persons from different departments? Carnegie Mellon's research theme is interdisciplinary investigation for that reason. --- Frank C.

This is one reason why I like FRIAM too. It is always a source of inspiration and insights. Albert Einstein said "A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended is its area of applicability". https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein His own theories relate physics and mathematics. Apparently philosophy and the social sciences are a good combination too. -J. -------- Original message -------- From: [hidden email] Date: 8/3/20 13:46 (GMT+01:00) To: 'The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group' <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Intentionality is the Mark of the Vital Many of my collaborators have been philosophers, such as Derr, Bybee, Lipton, and Barker, who, while disagreeing with me profoundly on many matters, have generously helped me shape my ideas in some degree palatable to the field while opening my eyes to whole realms of philosophy I would not otherwise have encountered..
