认识:在多级中介中建构与虚拟的信息活动过程

事物因差异而结成关系,信息在差异关系中获得呈现,人们通过差异关系来识辨信息;在认识产生的过程中,主客体之间没有直接的接触,主客体的相互作用是被多级中介的,诸如信息场、主体生理结构、主体认知结构、主体认识的物化工具都是主客体相互作用的中介形式;被多级中介的认识是在中介中建构和虚拟的认识,认识发生的每一个中介环节都是一个相对于该中介环节的性质而发生信息选择、变换和建构的装置,通过中介环节的建构,对象信息必然会发生某种扭曲或畸变性的再造,并且,在人的思维的信息加工活动中还能够创造出主观设计的新信息,这就必然会呈现出主体对客体认识的形式和内容等方面在某种程度上被虚拟化的情景; 虚拟现实的实质是通过直接模拟信息环境、感受体验,直接操纵感受体验的转换,进而实现对人的认识的虚拟;虚拟现实不仅为人的认识的可能方式开辟了极为广阔的前景,还有助于从根本上阐明作为信息活动的人的认识活动的一般过程和机制。

Cognizance as an Information Process in the Multi-Layer Medium Construction

The world exists in differences and the human brain recognizes information according to differences. During the process of cognizance, the subject and the object do not have direct contact, rather, their interaction is achieved by a multi-layer medium, through which the information is inevitably transformed, recreated, and even distorted, and a new series of information is produced once the human brainwork is involved. Thus there is a discrepancy between the world as it is and the world as is understood by the human brain, in other words, a virtualization process occurs. The virtual reality, a process of information transformation and shift by means of experience and manipulation, is thus able not only to open new visions for human understanding, but also to help explain the mechanism and process of the human cognizance.
