论文摘要
如果要求您“添加”知识,该怎么办?您会说“一个加一个知识”是两个“知识”?少吗?更多的?还是介于两者之间?添加知识听起来很奇怪,但它带来了最重要的问题,这些问题与折衷主义一样基本。这些是关于知识的性质以及使用数学来建模现实的问题。在本章中,我探讨了从我认为是一个被忽视但关键观察开始的知识添加知识的数学:知识是不可忽视的想法。
What would you do if you were asked to "add" knowledge? Would you say that "one plus one knowledge" is two "knowledges"? Less than that? More? Or something in between? Adding knowledge sounds strange, but it brings to the forefront questions that are as fundamental as they are eclectic. These are questions about the nature of knowledge and about the use of mathematics to model reality. In this chapter, I explore the mathematics of adding knowledge starting from what I believe is an overlooked but key observation: the idea that knowledge is non-fungible.
