I forgot to tell you something. I like to put your comparison between Human language.....and computer language in different way. Both don’t have a common ground to compare.
There is no fundamental difference between a computer and human consciousness. The basics are the same. Human beings are advanced computing machines.
But you have admitted it yourslef already. So I think, if you argue further then it'd be just for argument's sake. Consider this quotes from u.
1. How a human process a problem in brain? Of course in parallel way and also the fastest computer of the world do the same faster than human.
2. Back draw is that computer can process within few boundaries where else human can fire it up in to million of process. Do you think computer can do it?
So the basic is the same. Only mechanical computers are not that advanced technologically yet to compute so brilliantly as humans. But consider where we had been in terms of computing power even say, 10 years before. You know all about it. You read the history in computer fundementals class. You just have to look in the future, 10, 000 and 20,000 years from now in that line and see how more powerful computers will become. But luckily perhaps, you won't even have to wait that long. Are you familiar with the concept of quantum computing?
The limitations of traditional computers are well known and obvious. Yes, it is incapable of doing such huge amount of parallel processing as u say. In 1994, 1600 workstations took 8 months to factor a 129 digit number using the best known factoring algorithm. Because the algorithm scales exponentially with the input size log_N, with this algorithm and conventional computing, it will take 10 to the power 25 years to factor a 1000 digit number.
Computers will never match human processing power , right? Wrong.
The lithographics technology used in today's computer have logic gates that are a small fraction of a micron. Soon we will reach a point when they will be made of a few atoms. On atomic scale matter behaves in terms of quantum theory. Very surprisingly, the rules and laws of Quantum theory are very very defiierent than the macro world. And a computer based on quantum logics will offer a new kind of computing technology. Like?
Traditionally, what is the limitations of a computer as you noted? The basic chunks of information, one bit, is a physical system prepared in one of the two different states. 0 or 1. Quantum mechanics shows us with experimentally proven results that in addition to these two states there is a third state possible. It is a coherent superposition of the two states just mentioned. It is both 0 and 1 at once. You know about it from high school physics. It was discovered from the duality of the nature of light or electromagnetic forces. You even did the experiment yourself in the physics lab, that is if u did'nt skip it. The double slit experiment, remember?
Apply the idea of superposition for a register that has three physical states....

Any classical register of that type can store in a given moment of time only one out of eight different numbers i.e the register can be in only one out of eight possible configurations such as 000, 001, 010, ... 111. A quantum register composed of three qubits can store in a given moment of time all eight numbers in a quantum superposition. This is quite remarkable that all eight numbers are physically present in the register but it should be no more surprising than a qubit being both in state 0 and 1 at the same time. If we keep adding qubits to the register we increase its storage capacity exponentially i.e. three qubits can store 8 different numbers at once, four qubits can store 16 different numbers at once, and so on; in general L qubits can store 2L numbers at once. Once the register is prepared in a superposition of different numbers we can perform operations on all of them. For example, if qubits are atoms then suitably tuned laser pulses affect atomic electronic states and evolve initial superpositions of encoded numbers into different superpositions. During such evolution each number in the superposition is affected and as the result we generate a massive parallel computation albeit in one piece of quantum hardware. This means that a quantum computer can in only one computational step perform the same mathematical operation on 2to the power L different input numbers encoded in coherent superpositions of L qubits. In order to acomplish the same task any classical computer has to repeat the same computation 2 to the power L times or one has to use 2to the powerL different processors working in parallel. In other words a quantum computer offers an enormous gain in the use of computational resources such as time and memory.

Yes, DK. We are hopefully very close to conquering your technologically yet impossible, parallel processing barrier. :)
Check out this link if you want to check out the mathematical algorithm to carry out such processing to gain huge computing power boost.

Can emulate nature!
Can we emulate nature? Even better than what nature has done so far(directed by nature itself, of course), if I may say so.
Now you're gonna ask what this fits in Human language and computer language? Human language is developed for human and computer language developed for computer...Human is part of nature and Computer is part of human intellectual engineering which has no uniqueness in context of nature and X.
There is no basic difference between the working of a computer and human consciousness from a materialistic approach. Human consciousness has two main faculties that drives his activities. Memory and Imagination. Computers have memory, no doubt. You ask imagination? Let us dissect what is imagnation.
The memory is a faculty that conjures up ideas based on experiences as they happened. For example, the memory I have of my drive to the store is a comparatively accurate copy of my previous sense impressions of that experience. The imagination, by contrast, is a faculty that breaks apart and combines ideas, thus forming new ones. Consider the example of a golden mountain: this idea is a combination of an idea of gold and an idea
of a mountain. As our imagination chops up and forms new ideas, it is directed by three principles of association, namely, resemblance, contiguity, and cause and effect. For example, by virtue of resemblance, the sketch of a person leads me to an idea of that actual person. The ideas of the imagination are further divided between two categories.
Some imaginative ideas represent flights of the fancy, such as the idea of a golden mountain; other imaginative ideas, though, represent solid reasoning, such as predicting the trajectory of a thrown ball. The fanciful ideas are derived from the faculty of the fancy, and are the source of fantasies, superstitions, and bad philosophy. By contrast,
the good ideas are derived from the faculty of the understanding - or reason - and roughly involve either mathematical demonstration or factual predictions. When we imaginatively exercise our understanding, our minds are guided by seven philosophical or "reasoning" relations, which are divided as follows:
(1) resemblance, (2) contrariety, (3) degrees in quality, and (4) proportions in quantity or number (5) identity, (6) relations in time and place, and (7) causation (from A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge)
All of the above attributes are quantifiable and can be developed through advanced programming algorithm. Human consciousness has no inherent uniqueness that can not be duplicated with computer when we make enough technological progress.
Human can evolve its language but computer can't. Due to the processing limitation and lack of AI it has limitation. Nature has never needed a computer and accordingly, has never bothered to develop one.
Point 1: the processing limitations will be eliminated as explained above.
Point 2: You are standing human consciousness apart from the nature. As if humans were something very unique, beyond nature itself. Absolutely wrong.
Humans ARE a part of nature
Humans ARE developing computers.
Nature IS developing computers
So, there is a fundamental flaws, it just a tool for our life.
And we are the tools of the nature sir.
So, we human being should develop one tool to control that tool not several tools to do the same fundamental work, it just reinventing the wheel. We can evolve the existing tool.
Although your basic reasoning is false. I agree with your conclusion. For the reason that it will be certainly more practical to use one language then many. Such would be the case also for human laguages, if we all spoke english.
If you referring the word “teacher” to the developers who works in M$. I bow by head. But if you referring to that chairman, ops, what you say about burning in hell!
Actually, I am referring to whole microsoft as an entity. We should watch and learn why they are more succesful in capturing the market. And build a system that is better than theirs and use superior techniques to make it reach the widest possible audience.
