    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The Computational Efficiency Thesis (CET) is supported by a quasi-inductive argument analogous to the quasi-inductive argument for the Church-Turing Thesis (CT).

    Without cross-model convergence, the inductive evidence for CET is merely historical contingency about which algorithms humans have discovered, not a principled basis for a thesis about computational feasibility.

    Key Terms

    CET(as used in philosophy of computation)
    An abbreviation for a specific philosophical thesis about computation (likely 'Computational Feasibility Thesis' or similar), but the exact meaning would depend on the source text.
    Inductive evidence(describes how non-criterial evidence works)
    Evidence that builds up a probable case for something without proving it beyond doubt—like noticing it rained every time you wore a blue shirt, so you start thinking the shirt might cause rain.
    computational feasibility(as used in philosophy of computation)
    Whether a problem can actually be solved by a computer within a reasonable amount of time and resources.
    cross-model convergence(as used in philosophy of computation)
    When different approaches or systems all point to the same conclusion or answer, suggesting that conclusion is probably correct rather than just lucky.

    historical contingency(as used in philosophy of science)
    Something that happened only because of accidents of history, not because it had to happen or reflects something deeper about how the world works.
    principled basis(as used in ethics and reasoning)
    A solid foundation or reason for doing something that is based on clear, consistent rules or values rather than on whim or favoritism.
