Graphic codes, language and the computational niche

Human language looms large in the emergence and evolution of graphic codes. Here, I argue that language not only acts as a strong constraint on graphic codes, but it is also a precondition for their emergence and their evolution as computational devices. Note: This is a BBS commentary on Morin (2023).

Abstract

Human language looms large in the emergence and evolution of graphic codes. Here, I argue that language not only acts as a strong constraint on graphic codes, but it is also a precondition for their emergence and their evolution as computational devices. Note: This is a BBS commentary on Morin (2023).
