Chapter 1
This books talks about the formal systems and mathematics. There's a realm of math and a realm of nature. Axioms and theorem. p-plus q-equal. Mathematics is a language that we might not understand everything until we're presented to it. Formal system is a system made out of forms. They don't have content just a concept, symbol. They're containers of reality.
Rules have to be consistent. Logic, language grammar are formal systems, syntax, pragmatic, semantic. How do we interpret formal systems? Different words mean different things. Each term has to have an specific meaning.
Robust:not fragile, it can handle new challenges.
Consistence and completeness.
Isomorphism: (applied to reality) can't explain formally but pragmatically. Distance and speed, calculations of the mind of our ancestors. Euclid's Elements is a deductive system where they give you the specific data so one can start off with that.
A priori systems don't work because first you have to observe and then create a system and see if it works. Because if based on human action, it evolves.
Humility of realizing you don't know. Liberals job is to learn, serch new possibilities and ask questions.

Chapter 2
Los sistemas generalmente son recursivos. Modular significa hacer diferentes modelos, todo el universo es modular. La realidad es hacer el pop/push up del sistema. El humano usa el lenguaje para saltar de un sistema a otro. Nos podemos salir de un sistema gracias a las emociones (mueve).
Atención flotante: No fijarse en cada detalle. Soñar despierto
La manipulación mecanica nos da resultado un c oncepto.
Isomorfismo: forma igual, un sistema relacionado con la realidad.
Las reglas nos dan la confianza en el resultado.
Un sistema no puede ser compleeto y consistente (GODEL'S THEOREM)
Turing: no distinguir entre computadora o humano.
Las emociones es lo que le damos significado lo que nos mueve fuera del sistema

Chapter 3-4
Meaning would have both locatiton and universality
information-bearers: theorem
information- revealer: interpretation
phenotype? physical organism
genotype, epigenesis, prosaic
Genetic meaning: information about phenotype structure is spread all through the small parts of a molecule of DNA
Recursive process of DNA
Cognitive structure
Compelling inner logic
Identify decoding mechanism: they do not add any meaning to the signs or objects which they as input.
Jukebox: supplies meaning concealed inside itself.
Meaning is part of an object to the extent that it acts upon intelligence in a predictable way,
Rosseta stone: decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics. {1821}
1. Frame message: recognize the need for decoding mechanism
2. Outer message: information carried by symbols- patterns and structures
3. Inner message: emotional supposed to be transmitted.
Books are like aperiodic crystal
Our intelligence is disembodied hardware: brain. Our brains run without being told how to run. Ability to extract inner meaning.
Anthropocentris: man is the center of the universe
Cuál sería un lenguaje universal?
Matématicas?
isomorfismo:
exotico: ir de A-B y entender ambos
prosaíco: No poder imprimir la logica en el lenguaje.
La biblia en español dice: Yo soy quien soy.
Hebreo: Yo seré quien seré
Dios se esta creando

Chapter 5
Sistema completo responde a todo pero impide ser consistente (contradictorio).
nada produce nada - inconsistente
nada produce algo- big bang
efecto kasimir: particulas virtuales que existen y desaparecen
crab canon: autoreferencial, when we move forward we walk backwards.
La realidad no es binaria, es borrosa.
Godel: si puede haber sistemas completos y consistentes.

Chapter 6
No poder explicarlo en palabras, un sistema que no falle como el de las palabras.
Cálculo proporcional: estudiar por sus propias propiedades: se puede incluir otros aspectos fundamentales del razonamiento. Algo más lógico, formal, universal en vez de un lenguaje que puede tener varias interpretaciones.
Prudencia: no prudente, consistente o no cambiar reglas afecta el resultado. No es arbritario reglas isomorficas, consistentes
sistema aleatorio es salirse del sistema formal.
Admitir contradicciones (saliendonos del sistema), no somos sistema M, somos sistema I, eterarquía: sistemas trabajando al mismo tiempo.
En la realidad existen reglas. reglas- producto de nuestras mentes- y nuesras mentes producto del universo. ruido=qualia/ vibraciones= quanta.

Chapter 7
Filosofía Zen: se parece mucho a la filosofia del budismo, la cual intenta eliminar la dualidad. El sufrimiento existe porque existe el deseo, el mundo y la persona es uno mismo.
self reference (tnt).
ser y no ser al mismo tiempo.
no pensando solo viviendo y existiendo. Zen rompe el dualismo, iluminacion, toda una cosa. Cuando uno esta metido en algo no piensa y se vuelve todo. tiempo mundo no existe, existe todo, por ejemplo: jugar tennis, hacer el amor, leer un libro, cuando se vive algo interesante.
ser- figure (no cambia)
estar-background (cambia a cada momento)
No se puede pensar sin un lenguaje, el zen consiste en no pensar, aunque tiene sus limitaciones, ver todo como un todo.
que nos caracteriza como seres humanos? es mejor ser más dualista o menos? es mejor estar categorizando cada vez más?
Mientras más pensamos nos acercamos MAS a la iluminacion zen.
todo cambio es una ilusión, yo soy parte de os cambios,yo soy los cambios.
como pasamos de lo particular a lo universal? inducción, ciencia.
La escencia esta establecida ya no se puede cambiar a la hora de la muerte de una persona.
Mi existencia cambia todos los días, hasta el momento que deja de funcionar.

Chapter 8
Como funciona la mente? Como llegamos a una solución, brincando a ver el fondo, despues la forma, nunca las dos.
Estrategias ganadoras: hacemos conexiones para resolver problemas. Tener un próposito claro, experimentar estimulos de afuera. Necesita uno estar pensando en el problema. Pero como definimos el problema?
Atención flotante (capacidad de fluir de un lado al otro). Tener a lo lejos el problema claro, no tener fija una solución si no que siempre estar pensando en maneras que uno puede ir mejorando su solución y que de todo se aprende.

Chapter 15
The dialogue started a few minutes before with the members in the circle, Alejo joined at 9:00 sharp. Btw the circle is in terrible shape, better said it is not a circle at all. I had to control my impulsivity and be alert if someone else noticed it but we went through it and no one noticed it. I noticed Kata being very idle for the first segment of the dialogue.
The dialogue starts off by a comment of Blum about having 2 options to believe in, the jews think that it depends on the circumstances, they can't be absolute true or false. In reality and practice things are not so clear. We have to jump outside of ourselves. Is God incomplete? Pablito hace una pregunta que tiene relación con el diálogo de la pipa en la casa del cangrejo y la mayoría dice que no lo ha leído, me pareció raro ya que se supone que para ahora teníamos que haber leido todo el capítulo 15.
Blum continua con el dialogo, diciendo que el enamorarse es un loop en el cual es una retroalimentación positiva mutua.
Carmen pregunta: Se puede salirse del alma?
Sistemas formales tan grandes que son capaces de autoreferirnos y ser incompletos a la vez.
Blum da la definición de un sistema: conjunto de partes interactuando. Somos nosotros un sistema abierto, porque recibimos y damos información.
Reglas/ axiomas/ descripción isomorfica a la realidad.
Regla descriptiva- volviendo a decir algo que ya ha pasado- observado/ regla normativa: existen las reglas luego se aplican.
Teorías: a partir de cosas que ya han sucedido, he observado. Es un intento a descubrir como funciona el universo.
Porque las matematicas son tan exactas para describir la naturaleza?
Sistemas formales en cuanto a la mente. En grupo pensamos mas que individual, brincamos a un nivel superior. Universal inner experience- meta experiencia universal entre todos los seres humanos?
Podemos pensar si no tenemos lenguaje? (esta pregunta nos la hemos hecho varias veces) la respuesta es no.
La evolución del ser humano ha sido para querer vivir mejor.

Chapter 17
The only way to understand such a complex system as a brain is by chunking it on higher and higher levels, and thereby losing some precision at each step. What emerges at the top level is the "informal system" which obeys so many rules of such complexity that we do not yet have the vocabulary to think about it. And that is what Artificial Intelligence research is hoping to find
CHURCH-TURING THESIS, TAUTOLOGICAL VERSION: Mathematics problems can be solved only by doing mathematics. its meaning resides in the meaning of its constituent terms.
perhaps we have a subconscious potential for doing things which transcend the conscious processes-things which are somehow inexpressible in terms of the elementary FlooP operations.
some mathematician's mental capacity is no more general than recursive functions.- Hardy’s version.
"idiots savants", who can perform complex calculations at lightning speeds in their heads (or wherever they do it).
"triggering patterns of symbols"
CHURCH-TURING THESIS, REDUCTIONIST'S VERSION: All brain processes are derived from a computable substrate.
symbolic levels of the mind can be "skimmed off " of their neural substrate and implemented in other media, such as the electronic substrate of computers???
meaning can exist on two or more different levels of a symbol-handling system, and along with meaning, rightness and wrongness can exist on all those levels.
AITHESIS: As the intelligence of machines evolves, its underlying mechanisms will gradually converge to the mechanisms underlying human intelligence.
musical pieces and pieces of text are partly triggers, and partly carriers of explicit meaning.
There is nothing cryptic or hidden, in principle, in syntactic properties, whereas hiddenness is of the essence in semantic properties.
What Tarski found was that his version of the paradox has two distinct levels to it. On one level, it is a sentence about itself which would be true if it were false, and false if it were true. On the other level-which I like to call the arithmetical substrate-it is a sentence about integers which is true if and only if false.

What Tarski found was that his version of the paradox has two distinct levels to it. On one level, it is a sentence about itself which would be true if it were false, and false if it were true. On the other level-which I like to call the arithmetical substrate-it is a sentence about integers which is true if and only if false.
La complejidad no es lo opuesto al caos?
SAC sistemas adaptativos complejos
si somos muy ordenados somos muy rigidos y no nos podemos adaptar
aiaremas complejos tenemos que caminar en un camino estrecho que en un lado esta el orden y por el otro el caos.
Ruido: no hay orden.

Problem reduction got Zeno into hot water. Zeno's method, you recall, for getting from A to B (think of B as the goal), is to "reduce" the problem into two subproblems: first go halfway, then go the rest of the way. problem reduction is a powerful technique for converting global problems into local problems. Having a goal enables you to develop a strategy for the achievement of that goal, and this is a completely different philosophy from looking ahead mechanically bone. Notice how everything depends on the way you represent the "problem space"-that is, on what you perceive as reducing the problem (forward motion towards the overall goal) and what you perceive as magnifying the problem (backward motion away from the goal).
At first, they confuse physical distance with problem distance. And when the problem space is just a shade more abstract than physical space, people are often just as lacking in insight about what to do
try moving away from the goal in some sort of random way, hoping that you may come upon a hidden "gate" through which you can pass and then reach your bone; or (2) try to find a new "space" in which you can represent the problem, and in which there is no abstract fence separating you from your goal-then you can proceed straight towards the goal in this new space. The first method may seem like the lazy way to go, and the second method may seem like a difficult and complicated way to go. And yet, solutions which involve restructuring the problem space more often than not come as sudden flashes of insight rather than as products of a series of slow, deliberate thought processes. Probably these intuitive flashes come from the extreme core of intelligence-and, needless to say, their source is a closely protected secret of our jealous brains
You want to find a metric in which the distance between you and your goal is very small.
Spider feeling intelligent and human being observing it.
This idea (of not noticing the identity of certain repetitive events) is interesting when we apply it to ourselves. What is sameness?
knowledge which is accessible to introspection and knowledge which is inaccessible to introspection.
there are two molecules, one of which is good for replication [DNA] and one of which is good for action [proteins].
a general principle: you get bored with something not when you have exhausted its repertoire of behavior, but when you have mapped out the limits of the space that contains its behavior.

Chapter 19
Contrafactus is all about. In everyday thought, we are constantly manufacturing mental variants on situations we face, ideas we have, or events that happen, and we let some features stay exactly the same while others "slip".
The almost lays in the mind, not in the external facts.
Something allows us to imagine "all other things being equal" better in this one than in the others. But why? What is it about the way we classify events and people that makes us know deep down what is "sensible" to slip, and what is "silly"
A live mind can see a window onto a world of possibilities.
The manufacture of "subjunctive worlds" happens so casually, -so naturally, that we hardly notice what we are doing. We select from our fantasy a world which is close, in some internal mental sense, to the real world. We compare what is real with what we perceive as almost real. In so doing, what we gain is some intangible kind of perspective on reality.
Related to this notion of slipping between closely related terms is the notion of seeing a given object as a variation on another object.
It is wise to store old representations, rather than forgetting them and perhaps having to reconstruct them, for there is no guarantee that a newer representation is better than an old one. Thus, along with each old representation should be stored some of the reasons for liking it and disliking it.
Each actor can have its own idiosyncratic way of interpreting any given message; thus a message's meaning will depend on the actor it is intercepted by. This comes about by the actor having within it a piece of program which interprets messages; so there may be as many interpreters as there are actors
Fission is the gradual divergence of a new symbol from its parent symbol (that is, from the symbol which served as a template off of which it was copied). Fusion is what happens when two (or more) originally unrelated symbols participate in a "joint activation", passing messages so tightly back and forth that they get bound together and the combination can thereafter be addressed as if it were a single symbol.
to unite form and content.
How do you make abstract views of specific notions?
a plural thing made singular and re-pluralized wrongly.
SHRDLU wasn't built with the potential for forming new concepts or recognizing patterns: it had no sense of over and overview.
That is because real intelligence inevitably depends on a total overview capacity-that is, a programmed ability to "jump out of the system", so to speak-at least roughly to the extent that we have that ability. Once that is present, you can't contain the program; it's gone beyond that certain critical point, and you just have to face the facts of what you've wrought.

Chapter 20
There is and logically there must always remain a complete hiatus between (i) any ultimate extension and elaboration in this process of carrying out man's wishes and (ii) the development within the machine of a will of' its own.
any mechanical instantiation of will would require an infinite regress.Reasoning involves an infinite regress.
God helps those who help themselves, presumably the Devil helps all those, and only those, who don't help themselves.
That shows that we humans operate without need of rules: we are "informal systems".
a machine cannot do anything without having a rule telling it to do so.
No computer ever "wants" to do anything, because it was programmed by someone else. Only if it could program itself from zero on up-an absurdity- would it have its own sense of desire.
it makes you pause to think where your sense of having a will comes from
"Do words and thoughts follow formal rules?"
you have access to your thoughts but not to your neurons. Software rules on various levels can change; hardware rules cannot-in fact, to their rigidity is due the software's flexibility! Not a paradox at all, but a fundamental, simple fact about the mechanisms of intelligence
Now we have two layers of rules: those which tell how to move pieces, and those which tell how to change the rules. So we have rules and metarules. The next step is obvious: introduce metametarules by which we can change the metarules. It is not so obvious how to do this. The reason it is easy to formulate rules for moving pieces is that pieces move in a formalized space:
he moves change the rules, the rules determine the moves, round and round the mulberry bush ...
Each time you think you have reached the end, there is some new variation on the theme of jumping out of the system which requires a kind of creativity to spot.
Tangled Hierarchy.?
In our thoughts, symbols activate other symbols, and all interact heterarchically.
A Tangled Hierarchy occurs when what you presume are clean hierarchical levels take you by surprise and fold back in a hierarchy-violating way.
The field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics attempts to find macroscopic laws to describe the behavior of gases (and other systems) which are out of equilibrium. It is the analogue to the branch of political science which would search for laws governing anarchical societies.
instead of questioning the matter at hand, you call into doubt theories belonging to a higher level of credibility.
My feeling is that the process by which we decide what is valid or what is true is an art; and that it relies as deeply on a sense of beauty and simplicity as it does on rock- solid principles of logic or reasoning or anything else which can be objectively formalized. I am not saying either (1) truth is a chimera, or (2) human intelligence is in principle not programmable. I am saying (1) truth is too elusive for any human or any collection of humans ever to attain fully; and (2) Artificial Intelligence, when it reaches the level of human intelligence-or even if it surpasses it-will still be plagued by the problems of art, beauty, and simplicity, and will run up against these things constantly in its own search for knowledge and understanding.
What is evidence?
One of the most severe of all problems of evidence interpretation is that of trying to interpret all the confusing signals from the outside as to who one is. In this case, the potential for intralevel and interlevel conflict is tremendous. The psychic mechanisms have to deal simultaneously with the individual's internal need for self-esteem and the constant flow of evidence from the outside affecting the self-image.
Gödel’’s Theorem of psychology"???
How can you figure out if you are sane?
"If a person never contradicts himself, it must be that he says nothing."
When you try to imagine your own nonexistence, you have to try to jump out of yourself, by mapping yourself onto someone else.
you've fallen for image as reality. To be consistent in your gullibility, you should happily go one level further down, and confuse image-within- image with reality
all things in all of time and space are inextricably connected with one another. Any divisions, classifications, or organizations discovered in the universe are arbitrary. The world is a complex, continuous, single event
Ism is the spirit of Zen in art. And just as the central problem of Zen is to unmask the self, the central problem of art in this century seems to be to figure out what art is. All these thrashings-about are part of its identity crisis.
It existed for the spectator, as it were, simultaneously in his mind, as both inside the room in the painting, and outside in the real landscape.
