PlanetB2


Book Description

M C Raj creates a new planet with life. No wonder that Americans want to occupy it. The hitch is that the beings in PlanetB2 are cosmic formed out of the entropy of life giving waves. Not only they but also many human beings oppose the over ambitious project of Rustler, the US President who decides to destroy the planet if his plans failed. All the missions of Rustler s to PlanetB2 fail and in total frustration he turns his ire towards all those who oppose him on earth. He forms Earth Alliance. Those who oppose him under the leadership of the German Chancellor form the Cosmic Alliance. Plumbel, the close friend of Rustler s is the kingpin of the formation of Cosmic Alliance. Another world war becomes inevitable. Humanity is destroyed in the NBC (Nuclear, Biological & Chemical) war that ensues. What happens to Rustler, what happens to the cosmic beings, what happens to world leaders and Plumbel etc. are brought out in many plots by weaving by the author. War strategies, information galore, creation of a new planet and a new way of life for peace and non-violence are bound to enthrall the readers and compel them to extricate the many plots. A festive time is ahead.




The Future of Man


Book Description

Be in a dark room meditating; touch yourself and think, what are you touching? If what you are touching is real, then what is it and what is it for? Are persons, roads, automobiles, valleys, mountains, and anything that you see real? And what about the things that think about, are they real? How do you see and why you see what you see and for what reason? Is your being, seeing, and thinking an illusion? I believe that In reality, nothing exists other than your thinking. But What is your thinking? Who is thinking? Is it you or whom? If it is you, Who are you and from where do you and all those thoughts and things around you come from? I do not know about everyone else, but those thoughts have puzzled me ever since I can remember. Philosophers, scientists, and theologians have different ways of interpreting what is commonly known as life and Man: Why does man exist who created him and why? In my opinion: Man is the association of Mind and Body in search of happiness. Almost everyone on planet Earth believes that the answer to any unexplainable question is that God knows I am not god and not just me, but others wish to know what God knows. If not all men, then almost every man is in pursuit of eternal happiness that he wishes to find on the course of its life. In this book, my mind is rationally traveling and searching for The Future of Man in Search of Happiness. PS: I read a lot of publications in any and all subjects other than fiction. What I learned in my school days are over half a century old. I can’t always remember correctly what I studied and read. No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. Please forgive me if in this book I report something incorrectly.

Models and Cognition


Book Description

In this groundbreaking book, Jonathan Waskan challenges cognitive science's dominant model of mental representation and proposes a novel, well-devised alternative. The traditional view in the cognitive sciences uses a linguistic (propositional) model of mental representation. This logic-based model of cognition informs and constrains both the classical tradition of artificial intelligence and modeling in the connectionist tradition. It falls short, however, when confronted by the frame problem--the lack of a principled way to determine which features of a representation must be updated when new information becomes available. Proposed alternatives, including the imagistic model, have not so far resolved this problem. Waskan proposes instead the Intrinsic Cognitive Models (ICM) hypothesis, which argues that representational states can be conceptualized as the cognitive equivalent of scale models. Waskan argues further that the proposal that humans harbor and manipulate these cognitive counterparts to scale models offers the only viable explanation for what most clearly differentiates humans from other creatures: their capacity to engage in truth-preserving manipulation of representations. The ICM hypothesis, he claims, can be distinguished from sentence-based accounts of truth preservation in a way that is fully compatible with what is known about the brain. Waskan also develops a new account of explanation, grounded in the ICM hypothesis, as an alternative to the traditional deductive-nomological model--which, he claims, suffers the same shortcomings as other sentence-based accounts of representation and inference. Waskan's "Model model" of explanation resolves these problems in a way that no other account of explanation can.
