Formal Logic is Provably Irrepressible and Invincible

To rationally reject logic requires giving at least a precise argument for doing so.

Formal Logic is Provably Irrepressible and Invincible

To rationally reject logic requires giving at least a precise argument for doing so. Deduced, immediately: Rationally rejecting logic is self-defeating.

Hypercomputation

People Harness Hypercomputation, and More 29 by SUPERMINDS People Harness Hypercomputation, and More by Selmer Bringsjord and Micael Zenzen This is the first book-length presentation and defense of a new theory of human and machine cognition, according to which human persons are superminds. Superminds are capable of processing information not only at and below the level of Turing machines (standard computers), but above that level (the “Turing Limit”), as information processing devices that have not yet been (and perhaps can never be) built, but have been mathematically specified; these devices are known as super-Turing machines or
  • hypercomputers. Superminds, as explained herein, also have properties no machine,
whether above or below the Turing Limit, can have. The present book is the third and pivotal volume in Bringsjord’s supermind quartet; the first two books were What Robots Can and Can’t Be (Kluwer) and AI and Literary Creativity (Lawrence Erlbaum). The final chapter of this book offers eight prescriptions for the concrete practice of AI and cognitive science in light of the fact that we are superminds.

Conjecture

(see “Isaacson’s Conjecture”)

In order to produce a rationally compelling proof

  • f any true sentence S formed from the symbol

set of the language of arithmetic, but independent

  • f PA, it’s necessary to deploy concepts and

structures of an irreducibly infinitary nature.

And, every sentence that is the universal closure of an instance of

([φ(0) ∧ ∀x(φ(x) → φ(s(x))] → ∀xφ(x))

where φ(x) is open wff with variable x, and perhaps others, free.

Gödel’s First Incompleteness Theorem

Let Φ be consistent and decidable and suppose also that

Φ allows representations. Then there is an Sar-sentence φ such that neither Φ φ nor Φ ¬φ.
