An attempt to understand evolution of various kinds of spatial intelligence including forms of "implicit intelligence" involved in ancient biological processes of evolution, gene expression, development, reproduction, etc. APA Barwise Prize What makes some things impossible? And why can't neural nets discover or even represent impossibility? More research topics, below.
What is all that highly complex sub-neural chemistry for? Will trying to understand hatching in vertebrate eggs give us clues? I'll suggest tentatively that without use of quantum physical mechanisms controlling sub-neural molecular processes, mathematical discoveries in geometry and in every day spatial reasoning would have been impossible. Alan Turing's thoughts on intuition vs ingenuity Unwittingly endorsing aspects of Kant's philosophy of mathematics in ??
Draft incomplete paper: Super-Turing multiple-membrane machines, hoping eventually to explain ancient human and non-human geometrical and topological competences. Work in progress -- very slow progress. Being retired I can't be a main supervisor. But I am happy to talk remotely to students who are interested in the topics I work on. Anything used in the revision will be acknowledged. Available as html or pdf. Retired, previously honorary, now emeritus professor in the School of Computer Science , mostly working the Meta-Morphogenesis Self-Informing Universe project.
What might he have done if he had lived another 30 or 40 years? Videos What's information? Those who know about computation will not necessarily avoid philosophical errors! How did evolution produce mathematicians like Euclid? This is a "low-tech" website built using html in a text editor, starting early s and modified occasionally. OR b trying to get help from their gods as many do openly? Does the fact that the latter are deceived make them innocent?
Compare buying fake drugs! Available tools were very primitive for a long time, and later I was too busy to do anything about reorganising the pages. An attempt to get external funding to help reorganise it was unsuccessful. So here it is above and below , and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here. First characterise the gulf accurately. Many great research achievements could not possibly be assessed for their impact until many years later, in some cases long after the death of the researcher e.
