Abstract

When working to bring a recipe to perfection, a cook is clearly not in a world as simple as that of arithmetic, where 2+2 always equals 4. How can a scientific method help him to formulate a new recipe, that is to guess what will be preferred by our sensory system? A usable representation of sensations implies building a specific language permitting a very restricted optimization.

Resume

Quand on cherche à parfaire une recette de cuisine, on n’est pas dans un monde aussi simple que celui de l’arithmétique, où 2+2, quoi qu’on fasse, égale 4. Quel peut être l’apport de méthodes scientifiques au jeu de trouver la préparation qui sera préférée au travers de nos sensations gustatives ? Une représentation correcte et manipulable des sensations passe par la construction d’un langage, et permet d’optimiser dans un sens très atténué.
