Outline of Final Research Achievements

Compared with artificial intelligence of which possible state always coincides with actual state, we here porpose "natural born intelligence" of which the condition to match the possible state with actual stata is deconstructed. Making the structure of natural born intelligence, itself, reveals the novel style of the masterpice of which what is not explicitly painted is implicitly but positively suggested. They are implemented by both masterpice of Japanese paintings and discourses on natural born intelligence. We also show that the structure of natural born intelkligence can be dound in various deicison making in human and animals.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、外界からの刺激を問題とみなし、認知や知覚をそれに対する解答とみなす、人工知能的理解の方法や、これを基礎に求める閉塞的な脳科学や意識科学に対して、大きな風穴をあけ、創造性に新たな意味を持たせる新しい意識論の始まりを告げるものと考えられる。また人工知能的知に基礎づけられた等質的世界によって芸術を囲い込もうとさえしている現代のメディアアートに対し、異質性に基礎を求める本来のアートの力を回復するものと考えられる。
