Explicit values can't organise a field of experience
Human interest organises a field of experience that can't be captured by explicit goals and values.
Hubert Dreyfus, 1972.
Specific goals must be checked at preset intervals, but human concerns pervade experience.
When concerns are made explicit they lose their pervasive character.
Human needs ony become explicit after they have been fulfilled.

Yes: physical symbol systems can think [3]☜Thinking is a rule governed manipulation of symbolic representational structures. In humans, symbol systems are instantiated in the brain, but the same symbol systems can also be instantiated in a computer. ☜59C6EF

The Symbolic Data Assumption
The Symbolic Data Assumption☜The elements of thinking are represented in discrete, symbolic form. Beliefs, desires, goals, values, plans, etc are represented by such data and by their combination into higher order symbol structures like knowledge bases. ☜98CE71

The spatiality of equipment
The spatiality of equipment☜Human beings organize space into areas of nearness and farness relative to their needs and concerns. They do not organize space into a a three-dimensional system of discrete coordinates. ☜98CE71

Non-symbolic explanation of smelling
Non-symbolic explanation of smelling☜Rabbits discriminate odors by a process of chaotic self-organizing activity at the level of neural tissue. Symbols and symbol structure dont explain this process as well as the mathematics of nonlinear dynamics and chaos does.☜EF597B

The Context Antinomy
The Context Antinomy☜For a machine to understand sentences in a natural language, it must place those sentences in a context. However, because machines use explicit bits of data they run up against an antinomy (described in detailed text). ☜EF597B
