Real Time Computer

Famous quotes containing the words real, time and/or computer:

    A real life, a life that leaves a deposit in the shape of something alive.... It’s difficult to say what makes a life a real life.... You could also say it depends on a person being identical with himself.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    I lived for a long time under vast porticos
    That maritime suns tinted with a thousand fires,
    And whose great pillars, straight and majestuous
    In the evening made seem like basaltic caves.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
