Can a Robot Have Free Will?
Using insights from cybernetics and an information-based understanding of biological systems, a precise, scientifically inspired, definition of free-will is offered and the essential requirements for an agent to possess it in principle are set out. These are: (a) there must be a self to self-determine; (b) there must be a non-zero probability of more than one option being enacted; (c) there mus...

We introduce the perspex machine which unifies projective geometry and Turing computation and results in a supra-Turing machine. We show two ways in which the perspex machine unifies symbolic and non-symbolic AI. Firstly, we describe concrete geometrical models that map perspexes onto neural networks, some of which perform only symbolic operations. Secondly, we describe an abstract continuum of...

My paper: Funda-Mentality: Is the conscious mind subtly linked to a basic level of the universe? Trends in Cognitive Sciences 2(4):119-127 (1998), was followed by an exchange focusing on the problem of free will (and other issues) between me and two critics, Emmet Spier from the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, UK, and Adrian Thomas, De...

In the Iranian socie...
