Are thinking computers mathematically possible? [7]
Is it mathematically possible for a computer to think as well as a human can? Does the mathematics of computation contain anything to prohibit machines from thinking?

Robert Horn Map 7: Are Thinking Computers Mathematically Possible?
A full-sized version of the original can be ordered here.

The questions explored in Map 7 – Are thinking computers mathematically possible? are:
  • Is mechanistic philosophy valid?
  • Does Gödel's theorem show that machines can't think?
  • Does Gödel's theorem show that machines can't be conscious?
  • Do mathematical theorems like Gödel's show that computers are intrinsically limited?
  • Does Gödel's theorem show that mathematical insight is non-algorithmic?
  • Can automata think?
  • Is the Lucas argument dialectical?
  • Can improved machines beat the Lucas argument?
  • Is the use of consistency in the Lucas argument problematic?
  • Other Lucas arguments
