Kalkül is the word for calculus used by Leibniz. So that Plankalkül is a calculus for plans.
the code example for finding a maximum of three numbers is a bit complex. I mean you can do shorter in assembly
- YeGoblynQueenne 11y agoI took it to mean "a calculus for planning" in the GOFAI sense of "planning".
- krylon 11y agoI don't think Zuse had AI in mind at the time. The planning would have to be done by the programmer. This also fits in better with the fact he invented (or at least envisioned) a "Planfertigungsgerät" (plan preparation device) to convert the "Plan" from human-readable notation into something the computer could run (effectively, a compiler).
- _0ffh 11y agoI've always supposed it's a plan for calculus. It seems to me to make more sense that way round.
