Computing Concept: Genealogy Potential, Power, Arithmetic, Algorithm And Ritual Of Computation, Yuhang Liu, Fei Zhang

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

In the new era, China needs more rational, firm, dialectical, and practical cultural confidence in the field of computational technology. The study conducted rigorous literature research, and established the correspondence between the ancient Chinese ideologies and different focuses of computation. The study proposes the computation concept genealogy (i.e., potential, power, arithmetic, algorithm, and ritual of computation) to deepen the multi-dimensional understanding of the concept of computation, and gives some suggestions for cultivating the computational culture that is facing the world and is of Chinese characteristics.
