In this course
McClamrock appears in the course readings primarily through discussions of levels of abstraction and levels of explanation in computational systems, though the excerpts provided offer only fragmentary evidence of his direct contribution. The first excerpt suggests his work addresses how different observers or agents relate to the same system through distinct frameworks—a key concern for understanding how AI systems can be interpreted across user, programmer, and machine perspectives. His framework seems useful for parsing the layered nature of contemporary algorithmic systems and the problem of situated knowledge that animates debates about AI transparency and control.
