About
The Book
Cognitive Mechanics asks the question,
What if the mind were a machine?
After deconstructing mental functions into simple fundamental operations, the book reverses course to rebuild complex capabilities as conceptual machines.
This approach points toward a new method of constructing theories of the relationship between mind and brain.
The book concludes with a new way forward for machine intelligence and learning.
Features
Framework
A new paradigm:
Fundamental Operations
Simple logical operations on abstract mental entities build a foundation for conceptual analysis
Stratified Analysis
A novel approach allows for the description of mental states in terms of physical states and vice versa
Conceptual Machines
From simple constituents, we rebuild complex capabilities, with a path toward machine intelligence
