Perception and Mathematical Intuition

Mathematical Discourse vs. Mathematical Intuition

One of the most uninformative statements one could possibly make about mathematics is that the axiomatic method expresses the real nature of mathematics, i.e., that mathematics consists in the deduction of conclusions from given axioms. For the same could be said about several other subjects, for example, about theology. Think of the first part of Spinoza’s Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrata ...

Applications of a Global Workspace Framework to Mathematical Discovery

Systems which combine various forms of reasoning such as deductive inference and symbolic manipulation have repeatedly been shown to be more effective than stand-alone systems. In general, however, the combined systems are ad-hoc and designed for a single task. We present a generic framework for combining reasoning processes which is based on the theory of the Global Workspace Architecture. Wit...

Global Workspace Theory and Synthetic Phenomenology

1 From a high school world history book in the Year 2580: " October 31, 2517 was a historic day for synthetic-born kind. Cognos Baars, a 10 th generation global workspace nonhuman, hacked into the community hologram board which scrolls across the front door of Wittenberg's Castle Church, issuing a set of 0101 Theses that shocked the world. Written in passionate prose, Cognos elaborated upon rea...
