👉 Eugene's Model for Computing, proposed by mathematician Eugene Wigner in 1952, is a theoretical framework that reimagines computation as a process of information exchange and transformation, rather than the manipulation of discrete bits. It conceptualizes computation as a series of interactions between a system and its environment, where the system's state changes through the exchange of information. This model emphasizes the role of measurement and feedback, suggesting that computation is fundamentally about updating one's knowledge or understanding based on new information. In essence, Eugene's Model views computation as a dynamic, interactive process, akin to how humans reason and learn, where the focus is on the flow of information and the adaptation to new data rather than on processing fixed, binary states.
