AT: ... causal sets! No, I am joking Thank God. Couldn’t take much more causal sets!
As for the rest, don’t have time now – but I am sure whereof I speak. I’m talking about reasoning wh. like all the best things, is right in front of your eyes – and as distinct from logical, wh. is “vacuous” (in a Chinese room) – is well and truly *embedded reasoning* – embedded in the real world.

No, I am joking. I sympathize with your reasoning predicament, you've come across one of the many of what I'd call "holes of reality". Reasoning is indeed quite circular, and no "line of reasoning" can really survive investigation, which is why inquiry is mostly illegal, and has been so throughout the ages! (I am thinking of privacy, property, ownership, secrecy, confidentiality, decency, "duty" that generally is about action and not inquiry, censorship, data silos, you name it). I am quite sure there will never be a reasoning that will satisfy all, but I have already hinted multiple times that an all powerful reasoning mechanism is life (survival + reproduction). I am not too sure how to explicate this, hopefully I am not putting my future Nobel at risk by saying that survival is the expansive bit you are looking for (dealing with the devil in the details of reality) and reproduction is the logical bit, you manage to get A=A+A' or A+A'=A+A'+A'. No other entity/logical category in Aristotelian logic can hold a candle to a "biological species" AT AGI | Archives | Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
