摘要

本文介绍了关于巴比伦碑上天文程序之间相互作用的初步发现。本研究以算法为视角,探讨了程序、平板电脑上提供的数据以及平板电脑内的方法表示之间的关系。本文首先对“算法”一词在历史、美索不达米亚背景下的批判性分析,以及算法如何被用作思考天文程序之间关系的分析工具。在此描述之后,本文继续讨论行星程序文本中的一个案例研究,该案例研究展示了基于算法的分析如何为重新解释单个程序在给定平板电脑上的相互作用提供信息。这项工作的最终目标是揭示这些天文平板电脑的作者和用户如何与它们互动。

Algorithmic Relationships in Babylonian Astronomical Procedure Texts.

This paper presents initial findings on the interaction between astronomical procedures on Babylonian tablets. Using algorithms as a lens, this research investigates the relationship between procedures, data provided on the tablet, and the representations of methods within the tablets. This paper first provides a critical analysis of the term "algorithm" in a historical, Mesopotamian context and how algorithms may be used as an analytical tool for thinking about the relationship between astronomical procedures. Following this description, the paper moves on to discuss a case study from the planetary procedure texts that showcases how an algorithm-based analysis can inform reinterpretations of how the individual procedures interact on a given tablet. The ultimate goal of this work is to shed new light on how the authors and users of these astronomical tablets may have interacted with them.

期刊介绍: Die Geschichte der Wissenschaften ist in erster Linie eine Geschichte der Ideen und Entdeckungen, oft genug aber auch der Moden, Irrtümer und Missverständnisse. Sie hängt eng mit der Entwicklung kultureller und zivilisatorischer Leistungen zusammen und bleibt von der politischen Geschichte keineswegs unberührt.
