"If Ck(k) stops, then Ck(k) does not stop."
|

"If Ck(k) stops, then Ck(k) does not stop." Without knowing anything at all about mathematics or Turing machines, does this immediately "look" like a contradiction? Yes. Is it enough for it to look like a contradiction for it to be one? No. But that didn't stop it being used by those eager to show how the "contradiction"... еще »

My former student who became general charged with plane maintenance of an Air Force asked me to audit various envisaged designs of the maintenance Data Base.

The nature of mathematical truth
|
| |
As you know, mathematicians were deeply surprised that mathematics had so many applications in physics and elsewhere. Some even thought this was uncanny and wrote strange papers about this very issue. However, there is no element of surprise in such a correspondence. So, let me draw the boundaries, the extremes of formalism and... еще »

Another kind of connectionism: relativity and subjective experience
|
| |
The greatest mystery about subjective experience is the intensity of it, and the obvious fact that it is a force of nature. No philosopher has even come close to making substantive explanatory progress about subjective experience, and hence all kinds of *non-explanations* have been produced: dualism, behaviorism,... еще »
