Abstract

Machine learning intends to be a biology-mimicking learning method, implemented by means of technical computing. Their technology and methods, however, differ very much; mainly because technological computing is based on the time-unaware classic computing paradigm. Based on the time-aware computing paradigm, the paper discovers the mechanism of biological information storing and learning; furthermore, it explains, why biological and technological information handling and learning are entirely different. The consequences of the huge difference in transmission speed in those computing systems may remain hidden in "toy"-level technological systems but comes to the light in systems having large size and/or mimicking neuronal operations. The biology-mimicking technological operations are in resemblance to the biological operations only when using time-unaware computing paradigm. The difference leads also to the need of introducing "training" mode (with desperately low efficiency) in technological learning, while biological systems have the ability of life-long learning. It is at least misleading to use technological learning methods to complement biological learning studies. The examples show evidence for the effect of transmission time in published experiments.
