- Human code
In the context of
Culture , Human code or Human-readable code is tomachine code asHuman language is toMachine language .This context extends intocomputer science as a relationship between and amongstcoders and the users ofcomputing machines . Whilstroot user s andnormal user s share the machines, they do not necessarily sharelanguage familiarity. For this reason the use ofmetaphor s is often important in cultures comprised of both machines and Humans.Computing has consistently involved development courses and practices that insure a
manual override capability from the earliest concepts onward. In cantrast to the recency of the arts and sciences of computing, Humanity, and theHuman condition has held acode that predates computing by an amount that is pretty much indeterminable except perhaps if one were to use something like thegeologic time scale for example as aframe of reference .As the field of
Computer science expands, the computing equipment and software comes closer to "understanding" the human code or so it is argued by the proponents ofArtificial Intelligence andArtificial life .Fact|date=October 2007 The question as to the complexity of the "culture " that embodies development courses and practices then would logically have to be answered, at least to move the science further along the paths chosen to date.References
