![]() | One-paragraph overviewThe note refines a classical-logic result: any computing system whose entire update-rule can be written as one finite description (weights + code + RNG) is recursively enumerable (r.e.). Gödel–Tarski–Robinson then guarantee such a system must stumble at one of three operational hurdles:
Humans have done all three at least once (Newton + Maxwell → GR), so human cognition can’t be captured by any single finite r.e. blueprint. No deployed AI, LL M, GPU, TPU, analog or quantum chip has crossed Wall 3 unaided. And then a quick word from me without any AI formatting: The formalization in terms of turing-equivalence was specifically designed to avoid semantic and metaphysical arguments. I know that sounds like a fancy way for me to put my fingers in my ears and scream "la la la" but just humor me for a second. My claim overall is: "all turing-equivalent systems succumb to one of the 3 walls and human beings have demonstrably shown instances where they have not." Therefore, there are 2 routes:
From there IF those are established, the leap of faith becomes: >Human beings have demonstrably broken through the 3 walls at least once. In fact, even just wall 3 is sufficient because: Wall 3 (mint a brand-new predicate and give an internal proof that it resolves the clash) already contains the other two:
To rigorously emphasize the criteria with the help of o3 (because it helps, let's be honest): 1 Is the candidate system recursively enumerable? 2 Think r.e. systems can clear all three walls anyway? Everything else—whether brains are “embodied,” nets use “continuous vectors,” or culture feeds us data—boils down to one of those two boxes. Once those are settled, the only extra premise is historical: Humans have, at least once, done what Box 2 demands. Pick a side, give the evidence, and the argument is finished without any metaphysical detours. [link] [comments] |
