Logic and Computation: a philosophical viewpoint on Curry-Howard isomorphism

I think you are right to be impressed with the Curry-Howard correspondence. It is a detailed and extensive rule-by-rule and feature-by-feature isomorphism. This strongly suggests that proof and ...

What is the relationship between algorithms and logic?

It is neither. A proof that an algorithm solves the problem (it claims to solve) is typically deductive in computer science, but in AI it's more likely to be inductive, i.e. based on benchmarks/...

What is the relationship between algorithms and logic?

Algorithms are time-bound sets of instructions. Logic is an atemporal transfer of properties among classes and their instances. A logical proof (in principle) takes no time and makes no changes. The ...

What is the relationship between algorithms and logic?

Algorithms are more closely related to deductive reasoning, but it's not quite as straightforward as that. Suppose for simplicity that by deductive reasoning, you roughly mean a proof given in a logic ...
