I'm reading a book called "Probably Approximately Correct" by Leslie Valiant, actually I'm on page 48 now and haven't got a tangle sense of what exactly the author means by the term "ecorithm" so, does anybody have an idea about what exactly "ecorithm" is all about?
I didn't even start to read, so haven't got to page 48... While I like the title of the book, the term ecorithm sounds too holistic to my taste. Something diurnal maybe?
"“ecorithms,” a term he has coined for algorithms that interact with and benefit from their environment. "

Ecorithm develops algorithms and proprietary software to diagnose and optimize energy wastage in buildings and complexes.
Corporate name. I haven't read it, but I assume the book is at least in part advertisement.
