“how can the semantic interpretation of a formal symbol system be made intrinsic to the system, rather than just parasitic

  • n the meanings in our heads?”
slide-5

what kinds of reasoning can be performed by systems constrained by different representational criteria?

formal framework

method: assume formal primitives for semantic interpretability and the universe of concepts, then mathematically model the SGP not a complete solution, but simplifjcation + real progress no math today: details in the proceedings

so, what’s the point?

SGP is a major challenge of AI the framework raises new questions formalization opens the way for proofs the framework aids communication

some questions

which class is sufficient for AGI? where does your research fit in? which classes are pragmatically useful? are any of these classes equivalent?
