Cognitive theoretic model of the universe!

Van Christopher Langan, 1 van de intelligentste mensen op aarde momenteel.

Iemand die zijn verhaal gelezen heeft?

Nee, niet gelezen. Heb je wellicht een korte samenvatting van zijn ideeën, zodat we hier ook over kunnen discussieren?

Ik begin er net mee . Ik ga het in het de komende week proberen door te worstelen en eventueel wat vragen neer te schrijven om te bediscusseren maar ik hoopte dat iemand hier al dit documentje gelezen had.

Maar in de paar pagina's die ik net gelezen heb.

little reflection suffices to inform us of some of its properties: it must be rationally derivable from a priori principles and essentially tautological in nature, it must on some level identify matter and information, and it must eliminate the explanatory gap between the mental and physical aspects of reality. Furthermore, in keeping with the name of that to be modeled, it must meaningfully incorporate the intelligence and design concepts, describing the universe as an intelligently self-designed, self-organizing system.

How is this to be done? In a word, with language.

It means using language as a mathematical paradigm unto itself. Of all mathematical structures, language is the most general, powerful and necessary. Not only is every formal or working theory of science and mathematics by definition a language, but science and mathematics in whole and in sum are languages. Everything that can be described or conceived, including every structure or process or law, is isomorphic to a description or definition and therefore qualifies as a language, and every sentient creature constantly affirms the linguistic structure of nature by exploiting syntactic isomorphism to perceive, conceptualize and refer to it. Even cognition and perception are languages based on what Kant might have called “phenomenal syntax”. With logic and mathematics counted among its most fundamental syntactic ingredients, language defines the very structure of information. This is more than an empirical truth; it is a rational and scientific necessity.


Leest wel mooi door dacht ik zo!

Ik wil geen reclame maken voor mijn topic, maar wat ik hier al scannend lees komt het overeen met mijn laatste topic over wiskunde in taal bij Wittgenstein.

"As long as matter and information remain separate, with specialists treating one as primary while tacitly relegating the other to secondary status, dualism remains in effect."

Yummy

Good find 0d1n, ik ga 'm uitprinten!

56 pagina's leesplezier!! IDEAAL!! Kan er nu nog weinig over zeggen, maar klopt het als ik zeg dat Langan taal als onmisbaar ziet?
