Heuristic Computing


Human’s ignorance makes one not able to present an algorithm for the exact nature of a certain task. For instance, write a realistic fiction or paint a expressionist canvases. The enough information is unknown for an algorithm to be invented to capture the nature of them. Those tasks may involve multiple variables and parameters that interacts in a nontrivial way. Indeed, comprehending the full nature of these interactions may well exceed human’s cognitive capacity.
