Actually things are even worse, I'm now reading that it is not neurons at all that are the seat of the "processing" but the dendrites, these may be...
This is a huge oversimplification even misrepresentation of this subject, look: and This is from a 2019 Science Daily report - here. So you...
Right, and there's a case being made here that the brain is purely mechanistic, algorithmic, hence the discussion will embrace Turing machines and...
But it isn't. I do not agree that discussing the presumed mechanistic basis for self awareness in a thread about free will is off topic.
I am self aware but software cannot be self aware, no Turing machine can be self aware because all they have are states and actions, state machines...
Well I will continue to think about this, it is quite subtle I know, I last read about this kind of thing years ago and I know intuition is not...
Here's a more formal definition: Cantor's Proof. But it puzzles me, it says on page 2 "Now, this number can’t be in the table. Why not? Because..."...
The explanation of Cantor's method is (IMHO) a bit ambiguous, I'm not a mathematician but not a mathematical novice either. The definition speaks of...
GPT3 is software, and requires a TM in order to run, it is an algorithm, I've never heard of a "linear Turing machine" either, what is that? Well...
Which dictionary? My question is your opportunity to elaborate, explain in more detail, that's what I'm asking you to do, explain in more detail.
Some people believe that consciousness, self-awareness is something that can "emerge" from an algorithm. That is to say some algorithms are not...
How did you establish this? what is the logical reasoning that indisputably proves the conclusion "...and therefore God's not real"?
But I have not disputed that.
Can you explain the relevance of that post?
Even if the documents have been used that way by some it does not prove that that was their intent. Claiming a document is a fabrication, a political...
In the NT we read that Jesus was executed by his own, despite having demonstrated astonishing miracles and events. People, leaders knew of these...
You're wandering around in the dark, tell me, what does "complex" or "simple" mean to you and what does "more fundamental" mean? why is it "better"?
I think your conflating pure and applied mathematics here, my comments are in the context of physics and equations that represent physics.
Hmm, yes this is all rather undisputed, but tell me what could possibly have caused causality to exist? One shouldn't rule things out because one...
I do not see how the definition of a differential equation sheds light on the claim "Consider, could a state of total Nothingness create a demand, a...
