Re:Mathematical axioms for consciousness - 2008/02/15 13:30
So it took me quite a while, but I finally finished reading the book I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter. I think I am now in much better condition to understand your points. So I think I should review again your proposal about the mathematical axioms for consciousness, now under the light of fairly understanding what a strange loop is.
I think I can see much clearer now the point you made with the abstract formulation of mathematical axioms. Could we just say that you’re trying to find a mathematical definition for a strange loop? Then, what is different here from what Gödel did with Russell and Whitehead’s Principia Mathematica? And, how can be these mathematical symbols grounded so to be applied to real subjects?
