It appeals to mechanistic explanation models and to mentalistic explanation models. It puts up the methodological idea that these models have to be combined in one theoretical structure according to the scientific game-rules. This approach shows that specific mentalistic explanations are generated from explanation models or schemes, which meet the demands of the scientific games-rules; and it proposes a new theoretical structure called the multi-explanation theory to generate particular theories, which provide us with efficient explanations for behavioral phenomena. The book delves deep into anthropomorphism, and the complex question of whether a cat has consciousness and free will, and examines the intricate relations of the mental, the computational, and the neurophysiological.(Series A).Advances in consciousness research.CatsBehaviorCatsPsychologyPhilosophy of mindScienceMethodologyCatsBehavior.CatsPsychology.Philosophy of mind.ScienceMethodology.153Rakover Sam S.1938-66516MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965324803321To understand a cat4346287UNINA03711nam 22006015 450 991100747710332120250531134140.0981-9651-29-810.1007/978-981-96-5129-0(CKB)39124518100041(DE-He213)978-981-96-5129-0(MiAaPQ)EBC32142887(Au-PeEL)EBL32142887(EXLCZ)993912451810004120250531d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRoad to a More Intelligent World Revolutionizing Industries with Digital Transformation /by Pengfei Sun1st ed. 2025.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (XXXVII, 342 p. 121 illus., 49 illus. in color.) 981-9651-28-X Chapter 1:5G Drives New Developments in Global Digital Transformation -- Chapter 2: 5G Development Around the Globe -- Chapter 3: Challenges, Phases, and Trends of 5G Large-Scale Replication -- Chapter 4: Introduction to AI -- Chapter 5: Typical AI Technologies -- Chapter 6: Significant Developments in AI -- Chapter 7: Dawn of the Large Model Era -- Chapter 8: AIToB Entering the Stage of Scale Exploration -- Chapter 9: Challenges of Adopting AI in ToB Scenarios.-Chapter 10: Industries Evolving from Digital to Intelligent -- Chapter 11: Collaborative Development Between 5G and AI: Accelerating Intelligent Industry Upgrade -- Chapter 12 Convergence of 5G and AI: Enabling Industry Intelligence -- Chapter 13: Key Industry Practices -- Chapter 14 Trends and Prospects.This book provides an in-depth look at the current development of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) and artificial intelligence (AI), their technological advantages, application, and critical role in science and technology, as well as their future development trends.
