Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to prove the fundamental laws used in the three types of information processing through knowledge content and language form. Thus, the ability showing human-computer as twin smart system of information co-processing is analyzed, and its core intelligence is targeted to produce ambiguity or to reduce ambiguity. The method includes three steps: first, to explore logical rules of thinking process followed by human brain, second, to find out mathematical principles of information processing followed by computer, third, to accumulate a series of translation rules of bilingual information processing followed by human-machine collaboration. The result is that the fundamental laws of information processing are proved by both mental program contents and language expression symbols, including logical rules for content information processing, mathematical rules for formal information processing, generalized translation rules for all kinds of bilingual information processing. Its significance is that it not only clarifies the three rules of human-machine as the generalized bilingual information co-processing, but also finds sequencing and positioning in logic as smart system of language, knowledge, software, hardware, and as super-development environment for big production of knowledge, and all supporting with the generalized text gene information processing within smart system as the common focus collaborated with education, management, learning, using or application.

Thanks to the recent academic exchanges on ICIS2018 in Peking University, we have made clear the formal relationship between human and machine in language cognition! I would like to thank the anonymous reviewers of ICCSIP in Tsinghua University for giving us some pertinent suggestions!
