Some machines behave teleologically
TegenArgument

#509
Machines with servomechanisms are purposive and any machine that can respond to negative feedback for guidance behaves teleologically. Humans can make higher-order predictions about the behaviour of other objects, seperating them from such machines.
Arturo Rosenbluth, Norbert Wiener, & Julian Bigelow (1943).

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

Symbol systems can't think dialectically☜Computers cant reason dialectically because they cant synthesize opposing meanings into new meaning. All they can do is just shuffle symbols that are given meaning by a programmer.☜EF597B

Symbol systems can't exhibit agency
Symbol systems can't exhibit agency☜Symbol processors can never have agency. Agency requries teleology, dialectical reasoning, and free will. Computers lack these traits, because they dont understand meanings, the relations between them, and their relation to the world. ☜98CE71

Negative feedback can't explain teleology
Negative feedback can't explain teleology☜Goal-directedness and feedback activity cant explain agency. An explanation of agency must address the formation of goals and beliefs, and the ability to change those goals and beliefs. Current machines only seek the goals theyre programmed to.☜EF597B
