Three-dimensional Semantics of Cognitive Terms as the Basis for Artificial Intelligence Research

Abstract

The article discusses various options for constructing three-dimensional (3D) semantics of a language for describing interdisciplinary relations by increasing the complexity of semiotic complexes that ensure coordination of various disciplines. The most complex is the three-dimensional semantics of floating worlds, which uses a two-dimensional framework connecting at least two different disciplines for interdisciplinary coordination. The third dimension for this framework is given by the concept of computability. Computability is interpreted in a symbolic-connectionist format combining the principles of the Turing machine and the Korsakov machine. On the other hand, “computability” is understood as the establishment of a relation of reachability between logically possible worlds, where in each possible world a special discipline is “hidden”. Three forms of interdisciplinary coordination are shown: absolute – the relation of the reachability of possible worlds is carried out in the context of S. Kripke’s theory; relative – a modification of this theory by J. Hintikka and reflexive coordination is used, which is illustrated by the work of the Korsakov machine. It is shown that the three-dimensional semantics of cognitive terms, in addition to the methodological role of organizing interdisciplinary coordination in the construction of AI systems, has direct practical implications in the development of the concept of the metaverse.
