The Language of the cybersouls

Debates about technology are mostly staged in a grand setting: presented as the sinister toolkit of authoritarian organisations, or as the progressive fabric of the future. Yet everyone is involved in technology as part of every microscopic action in every humdrum life. How do theories about technology cope with this political spectrum? One option is to treat technology as we treat language and specifically use Wittgenstein’s language games as an analogy. So that technology, like language, becomes inseparable from us and an intimate part of us, and this merging of technology and the human transforms us all into cyborgs

Zadeh's Centenary

This is the introductory paper in a special issue on fuzzy logic dedicated to the centenary of the birth of Lotfi A. Zadeh published by International Journal of Computers Communications & Control (IJCCC). In 1965, Lotfi A. Zadeh published in the journal „Information and Control” the article titled „Fuzzy sets”, which today reaches over 117 thousand citations. The total sum of citations for all his papers is above 253 thousand. Based on the notion of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic and the concept of soft computing emerged, bringing extremely important implications to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In 2017, I published, whith F.G. Filip and M.J. Manolescu, a 42-page long paper in the IJCCC about the life and masterwork of Lotfi A. Zadeh, from which I will use some information in this material [15]

Socrates in thee Plato's works: uniformity of styles and life in all the works

Despite the fact, only one of the Plato's treatises among his coaction of works is titled "Defending Socrates"; however, one can say that all the Plato's works are based on defense of Socrates. Meanwhile, they are founded on defending Socratic thoughts, manners and finally his life. Some scholars have considered historic Socrates as being distinct from the Platonic Socrates with regards to the Plato's thoughts. The author intends, contrary to that which is famous regarding Socrates inthe Plato's works, to see the Socratic life and manner as being uniform in all the works; Hence based on this uniformity, the principles governing on his original philosophical life have been inferred from the content of his thoughts

Investigating and Exploring Beauty Markers in Pseudo Dionysus’ Works Focusing on Scholars’ Views

Aesthetics term has been used for the first time by philosopher Alexander Baumgarten in 18th century which is referred to cognition through senses and sensory sciences. Although Mediaeval philosophic thought in west ignorance has been established based on Rome and Greek philosophy and has been formed by Christianity and has deep association with it, it is necessary to access to Old Testament books and ancient philosophers’ thought to investigate aesthetics, so in order to achieve this goal scholars’ views in different books have been used in this study. The present study extracts and verifies various aesthetic markers in the works of pseudo Dionysus and uses mixed qualitative and quantitative methods. Snowball sampling method employed to select scholars for interview and quantitative method conducted by Morgan Table. Books have been selected purposefully to extract elements, ATLASTI software applied to extract diagram in qualitative method and SPSS software also employed in quantitative method to do the related calculations. Results showed that 34 markers are extracted including light, proportion, being bright, absence of excess and…which in qualitative results ultra-beauty, coma, the best beneficence and… are the most repeated ones, but in quantitative sources integrity, creativity, ultra-beauty, absence of excess, harmonious, perfection, source and destination of everything and light have the most proportion

Examining the geographical aspects of political movements in Iran (With a look at the background of political uprisings)

The effect of geographical factors on human behavior has been noticed since long ago. Natural elements have always affected human behavior and actions. So that, different weather conditions and differences in the natural environment are effective in causing specific reactions in human behavior. Thinkers and scientists have long been paying attention to the issue of the relationship between the environment and humans. Thinkers, philosophers, politicians, soldiers, and social scientists, from Herodotus and Aristotle to Avicenna, Montesquieu, and Ibn Khaldun, have investigated the relationship between climate and human behavior.In the 5th century BC, the followers of the Hippocratic school proposed the influence of weather and geographical conditions on human habits, ethics, and physiology. In the study of the movements of Iranians, the impact of the climate on behavioral traits and the influence of favorable and motivating geographical foundations are among the factors that have played a role in the formation of movements and rebellions, practical and essential aspects.The absolute and relative position of the geographical area of Iran is such that it has made a crossroads as the center of attacks, military wars, and cultural encounters. On the national scale, Iran's natural and geographical features have also been the cause of its social diversity. Therefore, the biological and geographical diversity that has caused social diversity has given a special and unique identity to the communities of different geographical regions. In such a situation, the main actors of the constitutional movement have been the motivation for other geographical areas and ethnic groups to improve Iran's status and participate in power

Causality Is Logically Definable-Toward an Equilibrium-Based Computing Paradigm of Quantum Agents and Quantum Intelligence (QAQI)

A survey on agents, causality and intelligence is presented and an equilibrium-based computing paradigm of quantum agents and quantum intelligence (QAQI) is proposed. In the survey, Aristotle’s causality principle and its historical extensions by David Hume, Bertrand Russell, Lotfi Zadeh, Donald Rubin, Judea Pearl, Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, David Bohm, and the causal set initiative are reviewed; bipolar dynamic logic (BDL) is introduced as a causal logic for bipolar inductive and deductive reasoning; bipolar quantum linear algebra (BQLA) is introduced as a causal algebra for quantum agent interaction and formation. Despite the widely held view that causality is undefinable with regularity, it is shown that equilibrium-based bipolar causality is logically definable using BDL and BQLA for causal inference in physical, social, biological, mental, and philosophical terms. This finding leads to the paradigm of QAQI where agents are modeled as quantum ensembles; intelligence is revealed as quantum intelligence. It is shown that the ensembles formation, mutation and interaction of agents can be described as direct or indirect results of quantum causality. Some fundamental laws of causation are presented for quantum agent entanglement and quantum intelligence. Applicability is illustrated; major challenges are identified in equilibrium based causal inference and quantum data mining
