Indeed. It is a necessarily true model of causality. Highly recommend Minsky's application of the theory on computation: Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines Interestingly, Minsky went out of his way to hide the production of that project without Weiner to avoid his influence on it--whom he disliked at least at a professional capacity. There's some part…
我的入门路径是：o 《计算：有限与无限机器》——明斯基 o 《计算机程序设计艺术》——克努斯 o 《计算机程序的构造和解释》——阿贝尔森与萨斯曼。就按这个顺序。其他一切不过都是语法糖而已。<g>
I got my start with o Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines --- Minsky o The Art Of Computer Programming --- Knuth o Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs --- Abelson and Sussman In that order. Everything else is syntactic sugar. <g>
Perhaps time has passed it by, but I still have a warm spot in my heart for Marvin Minsky's Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines, perhaps to be read before Hopcroft, Ullman, and Motwani.
There are 2 more that I would add, both books I read as an undergraduate nearly 60 years ago. First, Marvin Minsky's Computation: Finite And Infinite Machines (published 60 years ago). Not the latest word in automata theory, but as a first year student, I could read it and understand the issues he was addressing. Second, reading the First Edition of v.1 of…
One of my earliest exposures to CS was his Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines. "Communication with Alien Intelligence" is another favorite of mine. The idea of enumerating all possible Turing Machines and looking for ones that do something meaningful is brilliant.

确实。这是一个必然成立的因果模型。强烈推荐明斯基将该理论应用于计算的著作：《计算：有限与无限机器》。有趣的是，明斯基当年竭力隐瞒该项目的制作过程，不让维纳参与，以避免受到他的影响——明斯基至少在专业层面上是不喜欢他的。其中有一部分……

也许它已经过时了，但我心里依然对马文·明斯基的《计算：有限与无限机器》怀有一份温情，或许可以在读霍普克罗夫特、乌尔曼和莫特瓦尼的书之前先读读它。

我还想补充 2 本，都是我近 60 年前读本科时读过的书。第一本，马文·明斯基的《计算：有限与无限机器》（60 年前出版）。虽然不是自动机理论的最新成果，但作为大一新生，我能读懂并理解他所探讨的问题。第二本，读第 1 卷的第 1 版……

我最早接触计算机科学的契机之一就是他的《计算：有限与无限机器》。《与外星智慧沟通》也是我的最爱之一。把所有可能的图灵机都枚举一遍，并寻找其中能做有意义事情的机器，这个想法太绝了。
