   LEKCIYA 4. MASHINY S KVADRATNYMI KOLESAMI


              Na Mashine T'yuringa daleko ne uedesh'.
                (pripisyvayut |. Postu)

     Provalilsya yaponskij proekt "Vyzov", kotoryj obeshchal k 90-mu godu mashiny
pyatogo  pokoleniya  i,  kak  sledstvie,  absolyutnoe dominirovanie nad prochim
mirom. Rukovoditel' proekta  Moto-oka  ne  dozhil  do  90-go  goda,  poetomu
molchalivyj  vopros  vezhlivoj  yaponskoj  obshchestvennosti o harakiri otpal sam
soboj. Spasiba! Pazal'sta! (I poklon).
...

                   ... Upomyanem i
samoe "neopisuemoe" procedurnoe znanie - ezdu na velosipede.

                     A na figa?!
               (A. Voznesenskij)

     Pervoj mysl'yu mashiny, vidimo, byla mysl':  "A  na  figa  mne  eto  vse
nado?".

        LEKCIYA 5. IZVLECHENIE ZNANIJ


              Kinos'emka napominaet banyu.
              Moesh'sya, a tut prihodit ekskursiya...
                (Faina Ranevskaya)

     Samoe trudnoe - eto ne razmestit' v mashine znaniya, a  izvlech'  ih  "iz
cheloveka". CHtoby bylo, chto razmeshchat' v mashine.
     Zdes' dva osnovnyh sluchaya.
     1) CHelovek znaet, no ne mozhet tolkom ob'yasnit'.
     2) CHelovek ne znaet, chto znaet (tem bolee ne mozhet ob'yasnit').
     Ochen' naivno ozhidat', chto eto mozhno sdelat' s pomoshch'yu  interv'yu.
     Odin avtoslesar' proizvel na menya v yunosti (togda uchenika avtoslesarya)
neizgladimoe  vpechatlenie tem, chto on pochti vse nazyval odnim slovom. I ego
rech' v literaturnom perevode vyglyadela primerno  tak:  "CHudik,  voz'mi  etu
chudovinu,  i  chudni  eyu  po  toj chudovine, chtob chudyaknulas', i neche na menya
chudenki chudovit'. A to chudish', kak chudinishchej chudovnutyj chudilo!". (A dal'she
sledovala    druzhelyubnaya,    no    uzhe    absolyutno   neperevodimaya   fraza
obshchevospitatel'nogo znacheniya).
. . .

            Esli vy ne znaete, chto vam nado -
            zahodite k nam, u  nas  eto est'!
                (reklama supermarketa)

     Odno vremya na zapade sil'no uvleklis' REPERTUARNYMI  RESHETKAMI.  Kelli
ih  ispol'zoval  v  pyatidesyatye  gody  dlya vyyavleniya mira dushevnobol'nyh. A
sejchas, v rezul'tate progressa, eti reshetki uzhe vsem vporu. |to  ustanovili
specialisty  po II  i posvyatili etomu, i konferencii i tematicheskie vypuski
svoih zhurnalov.

           YUridicheskoe lico obernulosya
           fizicheskoj mordoj.
                  (sovremennaya skazka)

     Izvestna shutka o tom, chto srednyaya temperatura pacientov bol'nicy malo,
chto  harakterizuet.  Vsyakie srednevzveshennye i dazhe matematicheskoe ozhidanie
temperatury   bol'nyh malo, chto govorit o "graduse" lechebnogo dela. CHernoff
predlozhil ispol'zovat' chelovecheskoe lico dlya integral'nyh ocenok.

. . .

     Kogda vladel'cem znaka stanovitsya  komp'yuter,  to  eto  dobavlyaet  emu
golovnoj  boli  v  ponimanii nas, poskol'ku u nas vse ne kak u komp'yuterov.
Znakomoe slovo SINONIMIYA po-nauchnomu  oznachaet  situaciyu,  kogda  neskol'ko
znakov  imeyut  odin  koncept  i  odin  denotat. Naprimer, "partiya - Lenin",
"sokol - ZHirinovskij", "predprinimatel' - voryuga, kotoromu  davno  mesto  v
tyur'me, a ne v kabake s devkami, kotorym tozhe davno mesto ne v kabake".
     Nekotorye vzdragivayut o drugogo vpolne prilichnogo slova OMONIMIYA.  |to
vsego  lish',  kogda  u  odnogo  znaka  neskol'ko  par  koncept-denotat.   K
hrestomatijnomu: "Zakroj zamok na zamok,  chtoby  zamok  ne  zamok"  dobavlyu
"Kosaya  devushka  s  kosoj  kosoj  kosila  na kose koso". Vot pust' mashina i
razbiraetsya, esli ne okoseet...
. . .

             Informaciya k razmyshleniyu.
               (YU.Semenov)

     Glavnaya mistifikaciya informacionnogo veka -  eto  SHennonovskaya  TEORIYA
INFORMACII,  kotoraya, v dejstvitel'nosti, ne zanimaetsya teoriej informacii.
Ona zanimaetsya lish' izmereniem  KOLICHESTVA INFORMACII.
     Esli v kachestve harakteristiki  nekoego  Sobraniya  Sochinenij  vydavat'
kilogrammy  i kolichestvo, to mozhno zaprosto uravnovesit' eto delo seledkami
ili utyugami.
. . .

     Kolichestvo informacii  proporcional'no  umen'sheniyu  entropii,  Znachit,
esli  ya v kachestve informacii peredayu DEZINFORMACIYU, to ya u_v_e_l_ch_i_v_a_yu
entropiyu. Spravedlivost' trebuet, chtoby set' mne za eto platila!
. . .

          Slava tebe, Gospodi,
          chto ty sozdal vse nuzhnoe netrudnym,
          a vse trudnoe - nenuzhnym.
          (G.S.Skovoroda, 1722-1792)

     Znaniya nado ne tol'ko izvlech', no i formalizovat'. A to  ih  komp'yuter
ne  primet.  Komp'yuter, v konechnom schete, samoe zaformalizovannoe sozdanie.
Do nolikov-edinichek zaformalizovan. A  dal'she  nekuda  -  men'she  bita  eshche
nichego   ne   pridumali.   A   chelovek   naoborot   -   iz  zhivotnyh  samyj
neformalizovannyj.  Tak  vot,  formalizaciya  neformalizovannogo  -  process
neformalizuemyj. Hotya s etim pytayutsya borot'sya logiki i voennye.

     LEKCIYA 6. MATEMATICHESKIE STRADANIYA


            Esli "algoriTm", to "ariTmetika".
                    (eto logichno)
. . .

                 |to  tol'ko  naivnyj  yunosha,
"obdumyvayushchij  zhit'e",  schitaet,   chto   teoriya   algoritmov   nauchit   ego
razrabatyvat'  algoritmy. Potrativ luchshie gody svoej zhizni on obnaruzhivaet,
chto  teoriya  algoritmov  etim  voobshche  ne  zanimaetsya.
. . .

           YA myslyu - znachit sushchestvuyu!
               (Rodenovskij myslitel')

     Logika byla pridumana, chtoby zamenit' cheloveka,  poetomu  otnoshenie  k
nej   bylo  nastorozhennoe  eshche  so  vremen  Aristotelya,  kotoryj  zanimalsya
sillogizmami tipa:
"Vse lyudi smertny".
"Aristotel' - chelovek".
"Sledovatel'no, Aristotel' smerten".
     I umer-taki, v silu logicheskoj neobhodimosti.
     On byl pervym.  Za nim sledom umerli i mnogie  drugie,  ostaviv  mnogo
raznyh   logik.    Samaya   netrivial'naya,  konechno,  zhenskaya  logika,  hotya
matematiki zdes' ni pri chem (i dazhe pokojnaya Sof'ya Kovalevskaya).
. . .

               YA - lgu!
               (istina)

     Viner  dal  opredelenie  ponyatiyu   INFORMACIYA:   "Informaciya   -   eto
informaciya, a NE materiya i NE energiya". I vse!
     Otricaniya vokrug nas. Ih mnogo i oni raznye.  Izvestno, chto  otricanij
bol'she,  chem  utverzhdenij!  "Tak naprimer,  utverzhdenie: "Krasnyj nos", eto
slozhnoe utverzhdenie, sostoyashchee iz  bol'shogo  kolichestva  elementarnyh:  "NE
oranzhevyj  nos",  "NE  zheltyj  nos",  "NE  zelenyj nos" i t.d.
. . .

               2 + 2 = 4
                  (inoplanetyanin)
. . .

     No ved' kak-to chelovek, vse-taki, dumaet...

PXESSA iz 7 chastej "Perehod Sisopa v 7uyu zonu".

Den' pervyj:
Dejstvuyushchie lica: Sisop sonnyj( s P.Pryazhencevym ne putat'!) - 1sht.

Sonnyj sisop prodiraet glaza posle nochi, opyat' provedennoj za komp'yuterom.
Laskovye luchi solnca zaglyadyvayut v okoshko, i sisop dumaet pro sebya: "Kakaya
pogoda! Schas by gulyat' pojti...". No vdrug lico sisopa nachinaet menyat'sya...
SHCHeki, byvshie neskol'ko sekund nazad rozovymi, proglyadyvayushchimi dazhe iz-za spiny,
vdrug prinimayut pepel'no-seryj cvet i otvisayut... Iz pod chernyh volos
probivaetsya vse bol'she i bol'she sedyh... Ne prohodit 5ti minut, kak sisop sidit
ves' sedoj. Na ego lice prostupaet zloradnaya ulybka, bolee pohozhaya na
predsmertnyj oskal, on vspominaet, chto segodnya nachinaetsya perehod v sed'muyu
zonu... On podhodit k komp'yuteru, i... (CHto proishodilo s sisopom dal'she,
opisaniyu ne podlezhit.) Ego tryaslo, dergalo iz storony v storonu, da tak, chto on
ne mog ponyat', gde pol, a gde potolok. On othodil ot komp'yutera, uspokaivalsya i
snova s golovoj brosalsya v stihiyu. No tol'ko stoilo smenit' cifru 2 na 7 - ego
moshchnym tolchkom otbrasyvalo ot komp'yutera. Za 17 chasov smertel'noj bor'by on
smenil cifru v TREH mestah. |to bylo uzhe poldela. No sisop uzhe ne mog dazhe
stoyat' na nogah. On prikryl glaza, i usnul. I snilas' emu bol'shaya bol'shaya bochka
s pivom, upravlyaemaya s kompa cherez modem... Esli by kto-nibud' uvidel siospa v
etot moment, to tochno podumal by, chto eto murlykayushchij kotenok, takoe bylo
vyrazhenie lica u nego. Schastlivyj, on spal.

Den' vtoroj, tretij, chetvertyj, pyatyj byli kak dve kapli vody pohozhi na pervyj.

Den' shestoj:

Za shest' dnej bor'by sisop priobrel bol'shoj opyt. Teper' on uzhe ne srazu nachinal
pravit' konfigi, a snachala zalival v shchel' diskovoda 5-6 butylok piva. Kogda zhe
komp'yuter nachinal ikat', sisop svyazyval komputer shnurami pitaniya, obmatyval
telefonnym kabelem, i nachinal svoe delo. Komp'yuter izdaval takoj rev, chto sosedi
dumali o tom, kakoj strashnoj smert'yu v etoj kvartire umiraet slon uzhe 6oj den'
podryad. Dvazhdy priezzhala miliciya, no ponyav, chto oni nichego ne ponimayut, menty
uezzhali, ne zabyv pozvonit' v psih. kliniku. No sisop byl ne na stol'ko glup,
chto-by prikidyvat'sya psihom. Psihi(kodovoe nazvanie PSIHIATR OBYKNOVENNYJ, Homo
psyhicus :) uezzhali ni s chem.
Vremya shlo... Sisop pochuvstvoval, chto priblizhaetsya k zavetnoj cherte - izmeneniyu
Main adrress'a. On prinyal dlya hrabrosti, potom eshche, potom eshche...

Den' sed'moj:

Nautro golova raskalyvalas'. No stoilo emu uvidet' 2: v majn adrese - pohmel'e
kak rukoj snyalo. Komp'yuter tozhe byl gotov k oborone: monitor izluchal
rentgenovskie luchi; telefonnyj kabel' zhalilsya dvumyastami vol'tami; shel' ot
diskovoda tak i norovila ukusit' za palec; modem sverkal svoimi lampochkami tak,
chto v glazah ostavalis' bliki... Obluchennyj sisop, uzhe lyseyushchij, sobiraetsya s
silami i kidaetsya na komp'yuter. (Golos svyshe: on eshche ne znaet o tom, chto eto ego
poslednyaya ataka). Idet bor'ba, vsya rech' iz kotoroj vyrezana cenzuroj. Sisop
delaet usilie, i VOT!!!! On dobilsya celi!!! Main Address teper' nachinaetsya s
cifry 7:. On chut' oslablyaet hvatku, i tut zhe chuvstvuet, chto na shee nachinaet
zatyagivat'sya shnur ot RS-232. Sisop bolee ne v sostoyanii borot'sya, opuskaet ruki,
nachinaet hripet'... Zabyvaetsya.

Den' vos'moj, on zhe pervyj:

"Siopushka, vstavaj!"- skazal ZyXEL na vsyu komnatu, i sisop prosypayas' ponimaet,
chto on zhiv, i vse eto byl strashnyj son.
Laskovoe solnyshko luchami shchekochet sisopa, no emu tak neohota vstavat'!!! On
sobiraet vse svoi ostatki voli, podhodit k komp'yuteru, i
... vyklyuchaet ego! "DA PROPADI TY PROPADOM, ZONA 7!" - vosklicaet on. Luchshe ya
pojdu pop'yu piva! Bol'she etogo sisopa v setyah elektronnoj pochty nikto i nikogda
ne videl.

With best regards,
     Kirill A.Lebedev

Kak govoritsya: "Pochuvstvujte raznicu!"

Davnym-davno na olimpiade po yazykovedeniyu i matematike predlagalas' takaya
zadacha (vosproizvozhu po pamyati - mozhet, kto-to podpravit, esli ne tak).

------
V rezul'tate dal'nejshej evolyucii russkogo yazyka odno iz izvestnejshih
stihotvorenij mozhet zazvuchat' tak:

  Ma tata, sami sini ravi,
  Kata ni suku sanima,
  Ja vuvasa sipa satavi
  Ji rusi vituma ni ma.

CHto eto za stihotvorenie, i kak ego prodolzhit'.
------

Kto srazu ponyal, chto eto bylo, i oshchutil prelest' "novorusskogo" yazyka, tot
vpolne mozhet perehodit' na latinskij alfavit. Ostal'nym mozhno tol'ko
posochuvstvovat' i predlozhit' uchit' anglijskij, a zaodno i russkij, chtoby ne
bylo takih perevodov: "paging" = "podkachka stranic".

Dal'nejshaya evolyuciya privedet k sokrashcheniyu chisla bukv v alfavite do dvuh:
"1" i "0" (da/net, sootvetstvenno; bukva "chert ego znaet" ne predusmotrena -
"CHelovek Budushchego" ne dolzhen somnevat'sya) i k sootvetstvuyushchemu sokrashcheniyu
chisla knopok na klaviature - krome "1" i "0" ostanutsya eshche Shift (dlya bol'shogo
"DA") i Alt (dlya "da, no ne tuda"). Vozmozhno poyavlenie klaviatury v nozhnom
variante (chtoby osvobodit' ruki dlya bolee vazhnyh del).

V rezul'tate proizojdet sliyanie russkogo, anglijskogo, kitajskogo i pr. yazykov,
ischeznut razlichiya mezhdu umstvennym i fizicheskim trudom (programmisty budut
stuchat' po klaviature nogami), mezhdu gorodom i derevnej (vmesto fermy budet
srazu molokozavod, na kotorom vmesto korovy - odno bol'shoe vymya), mezhdu
muzhchinoj i zhenshchinoj, i nastupit polnyj Kommunizm!
