Synopsis
This book explores the concept of an "incremental computer," a revolutionary approach to computing that departs from traditional models. It proposes a paradigm shift from "executing determined procedures" to "determining procedures." The incremental computer, based on the LISP programming language, evaluates expressions under the control of the available information context, allowing for open-ended growth and continuous data assimilation from evolving environments. The book delves into the challenges and potential of this new approach, examining its significance in expanding the capabilities of automatic information systems and its implications for the future of computing.
