TREE AND LOOP AS MOMENTS FOR MEASUREMENT

Biologically motivated computing presents us with a measurement proces s in science. It triggers an epistemological shift from state-oriented physics to measurement-oriented physics, in which we can find a paral lelism with Wittgenstein's shift from rule following to a language gam e. We argue here that an approximation or computing process can be vie wed as a language game and propose an idea of proto-computing which is metaphorically formalized through disequilibration between tree- and loop-program, as a model for measurement-oriented computing.
