在与高度结构化环境交互的情况下,我们通过率失真和联合渐近均分定理将最近的信息论相变方法扩展到进化和认知过程。这表明认知系统中的学习平台和进化过程中的间断平衡在形式上是相似的,即使进化不是认知的。Adamiet等人的扩展参数。(2000),我们认为“适应”是一个过程,通过这个过程,一个扭曲的遗传图像的连贯结构的环境是强加给一个物种。
We extend recent information-theoretic phase transition approaches to evolutionary and cognitive process via the Rate Distortion and Joint Asymptotic Equipartition Theorems, in the circumstance of interaction with a highly structured environment. This suggests that learning plateaus in cognitive systems and punctuated equilibria in evolutionary process are formally analogous, even though evolution is not cognitive. Extending arguments by Adamiet al.(2000), we argue that 'adaptation' is the process by which a distorted genetic image of a coherently structured environment is imposed upon a species.
