Hi,
P.S. About Daniel Amit:
I haven't read the book, but are you saying he demonstrates coherent,
*meaningful* symbol processing as the transition of the dynamics
through the lobes of an ultracomplex set of attractor lobes? Like,
reasoning with the symbols, or something?
And that he does more than just redescribe the system behavior in
terms of attractors .... e.g he uses the analytic math as a way to
predict the symbol processing in some way?
I'd be willing to bet that he could do this for a Turing machine,
maybe, but that he does not derive or predict any new properties of
anything remotely resembling real-world "symbol processing" using the
math that describes the attractor dynamics.
That is correct...
