Draft 2: corrects Draft 1 on the scope of the conclusion and the constant-operation example. Slightly fuller explanations. Draft 1: Hopefully gets the basic idea across. The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) models reality’s self-configuration through a two-stage process called telic recursion, wherein global generalized utility is maximized while local operators (telors) maximize localContinue reading “A Semilattice Characterization of Convergent Local Self-Configuration”

Abstraction as Simulation
The external world and the human mind operate by the same physical laws. The functions of the brain like perceiving, reasoning and calculating are done as physical processes. Experiences inherit the mathematical describability of physics: to the extent that natural laws are formulated mathematically, the experiences shaped by the laws are the same. Experiences cannotContinue reading “Abstraction as Simulation”
Direct Evaluation of Implications in Boolean Algebra [PDF]
“Is there a regular pattern governing the simplification of nested implications in Boolean Algebra?” That’s a train of thought I typed up as a LaTeX paper back in August: I’d be very interested to know where to find published results like these, especially if they cover the special cases I omitted.
