Abstract

Taoism, as both the theoretical foundation upon which techniques such as Chinese medicine, astronomy, Feng shui and alchemy were developed throughout Chinese history, and as an ancient fundamental concept of and approach to the mind-body issue, provides us with an alternative angle for understanding imagery in the history of art. The research and application of artificial intelligence in imitating human thinking also provides us with a perspective to renew our worldview and understanding of what is human. The analogism of the Yin-yang and Five Elements theory of the uniquely Chinese Taoist theory of the universe and philosophy, proposes an all-inclusive theoretical system of universal connectivity that has been preserved as a characteristically Chinese way of thinking in poetry, idioms and paintings. This method of categorization, which is anti-logic and anti-museology, is more similar to the automatic associations that occur in the state of unconscious thinking and is exactly what Douglas Richard Hofstadter referred to as the mode of operation for artificial intelligence when performing in-depth learning of human perception. The speech will touch upon explorations and research in such areas as Kun Can, Chinese landscape painting, Chart of the Inner Landscape (‘Neijing Tu’), brain science, Fractal Theory, mathematics and neural network. It discussed from a cross-disciplinary point of view how to renew our understandings of traditions and how to draw from traditions new ways of thinking for the present.

髡残、内经图和类比法

​

摘要

道家学说作为发展出中国历史中关于中医、天象、风水、炼丹等技术的理论基础，以及处理身心技术的古代基本观念，给了我们一个另类的理解艺术史图像的角度。人工智能模拟人脑思维的研发与应用，也同样给我们提供了一个重新认识什么是人的世界观的角度。表中国特色的道家的宇宙论和哲学思想的阴阳五行说的类比法，建立了一个保罗万象的世界万物普遍联系的理论体系，作为中国特定的思维方式保存在诗歌、成语、绘画作品之中。这种反逻辑和博物馆学的分类方式，更接近人脑无意识状态下的自动联想，也正是侯世达所提出的AI在进行深度学习时模仿人类感知的运算方式。发言将涉及髡残、山水画、内经图、脑科学、分形、数学、神经网络等方面的探索和研究，关于在跨学科角度上如何重新理解传统，以及传统如何给当下提供新的思维路径。
