Algorithmic Information Theory.pdf

Taken from Foreword: Turing’s deep 1937 paper made it clear that G¨odel’s astonishing earlier
results on arithmetic undecidability related in a very natural way to a class of computing automata, nonexistent at the time of Turing’s paper, but destined to appear only a few years later, subsequently to proliferate as the ubiquitous stored-program computer of today. The appearance of computers, and the involvement of a large scienti c community in elucidation of their properties and limitations, greatly enriched the line of thought opened by Turing. Turing’s distinction between computational problems was rawly binary: some were solvable by algorithms, others not. Later work, of which an attractive part is elegantly developed in the present volume, re ned this into a multiplicity of scales of computational difficulty, which is still developing as a fundamental theory of information and computation that plays much the same role in computer science that classical thermodynamics plays in physics: by de ning the outer limits of the possible, it prevents designers of algorithms from trying to create computational structures which provably do not exist. It is not surprising that such a thermodynamics of information should be as rich in philosophical consequence as thermodynamics itself.

Prior to about 1984, the Lisps available on personal computers weren’t very good due to the small memories of the early machines. Today’s personal computers often come with several megabytes of RAM and a hard disk as standard equipment. They run full implementations of the Common Lisp standard, and provide the same high-quality tools as the Lisps in university and industrial research labs. The “Lisp Toolkit” sections of this book will introduce you to the advanced features of the Common Lisp programming environment that have made the language such a productive tool for rapid prototyping and AI programming.
