He has a separate specific paper Consciousness as a Functor but this version walks you through how category theory modeling is used in AGI architecture if you’re unfamiliar, then at the end those structures are used to show conscious and unconscious processes functorially with topos of coalgebras and URL, specifying a language of thought so those who wade through it get rewarded with a very detailed description of a potentially functional consciousness. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Td94236ee8c040564-Mad6aaf3e54350c9b5bdf58a9 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
