The Significance of the Analysis of Contradiction and Annotated Logic Abstract: The problem of contradiction is an important one that restricts the development of AI. The epistemological interpretation of contradiction indicates that contradiction results from contradictory information, so the best way to solve the problem is to analyze contradictory information and get effective evidence for the proposition. Annotated logic presented by some logicians can be used to analyze contradictory information, because it can get the degree of certainty, the degree of contradiction and the real degree of evidence for the proposition by the analysis of favorable and unfavorable evidences, and therefore interpret the meaning of the proposition. The analysis of contradiction based on annotated logic not only promotes the development of AI, but it also explores the trends of computerization in the research on human rational thinking.Issue:Volume 40, lssue 8, August 2018Page: 35-43

Large Language Models and the Restructuring of the Cognitive Paradigm: The Limits of Recursion and the Essential Significance of Topological Evolution Abstract: Traditional AI research dominated by recursive logic has been constrained by the combinatorial explosion inherent in rule-based symbolic systems and by the problem of infinite recursion, which together hinder an adequate formal representation of natural language. In contrast, large language models (LLMs) employ parallel, distributed computation over high-dimensional vector spaces and chain-of-thought processing; by replacing formal inference with probabilistic association, they achieve dynamic modeling of natural language. Each of these construction principles has a counterpart in linguistics: generative grammar, committed to recursion-centrism, has been challenged—indeed rejected—by ecolinguistic approaches, while distributed language theory further contends that language is an evolutionary phenomenon distributed across individuals and their social interactions. The shared foundational features of linguistic theory and technical practice indicate that a topology-oriented paradigm centered on dynamic relations and a recursion-oriented paradigm grounded in unbounded symbolic operations constitute two fundamental frameworks for explaining human cognitive structure. They also indicate an ongoing shift in cognitive science from formal axiomatization toward practice-oriented model construction.
