Stephen Wolfram on Computer Languages - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 275 Computer language/Wolfram: (…) one of the interesting things has been incorporating (…) capabilities [like physiological recognition, language translation, voice-to-text] into a precise symbolic language to represent the everyday world. E.g., “X is greater than 5.“ That’s a predicate. You might also say, “I want a piece of chocolate.” That’s also a predicate. It has an “I want” in it. We have to find a precise symbolic representation of the desires we express in human natural language. >Formalization/Wolfram, >Software/Wolfram, >Human machine communication/Wolfram.
