Mathematical insight is not the important issue
Einwand
1
#1135
Even if there's no algorithm for mathematical insight, the lack of one isn't crucial as insight isn't important to mathematics. Problems like Gödel’s theorem and the halting problem can be solved reliably by probalistic algorithms.
Whether or not they are solved by insight or not doesn't matter. Mathematics is grounded in its reliability, not in any particular kind of insight.
Daniel Dennett (1990).

No: computers are limited by Gödel's theorems☜Gödels theorem proves that a computer cant in principle operate with human understanding (see detailed text). Gödels incompleteness theorems are the Achilles heel of mechanism. John Lucas (1961).☜59C6EF

Mathematical insight is non-algorithmic
Mathematical insight is non-algorithmic☜Many problems of mathematics—eg Gödels incompleteness problem, the halting problem, etc—can be understood by conscious humans but cant be solved algorithmically. This shows mathematical insight is based on conscious non-algorithmic processes.☜98CE71
