The problem is with computers we have to build incredibly complex systems out of very basic axioms (the features of von Neumann machines). The closest similarly complex systems built out of natural language are philosophy and law, and both are rife with ambiguity.
- hacker_9 11y ago> we have to build incredibly complex systems out of very basic axioms Yes and this is because our programming languages aren't as advanced as natural languages, not yet. > philosophy Did you just compare computer systems as being as complex as figuring out the meaning of life and the universe? > law Law is written in a way that is unambiguous as possible. Additionally it's a lot more complicated then simply running the same logic over and over when you are dealing with real peoples lives.
