Chinese Water Pipe Brain Simulator
VoorArgument
1
#803
Chinese Room man's given a new rulebook noting which valves to switch on/off in a vast system of waterpipes in response to Chinese inputs. The pipes simulate the neural properties of a Chinese speaker's brain, but the man doesn't understand Chinese.
John Searle 1980a, 1980b, & 1990b.

Yes: physical symbol systems can think [3]âThinking 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. â59C6EF

The Chinese Room Argument [4]
The Chinese Room Argument [4]âInstantiation of a formal program isnt enough to produce semantic understanding or intentionality. A man who doesnt understand Chinese, can answer written Chinese questions using an English rulebook telling him how to manipulate Chinese symbols.âEF597B

Understanding arises from right causal powers »
Understanding arises from right causal powers
Understanding arises from right causal powersâSystems capable of semantic understanding and intentionality must have at least the same causal powers as brains. Brains have sufficient causal powers to produce understanding: its an open empirical question whether other materials (eg silicon) do.â98CE71

Brain's causal powers reproduced by a computer
Brain's causal powers reproduced by a computerâA computational system that could duplicate the microlevel functional structure of the brain duplicates the brains causal powers. If the causal powers give rise to intentionalityâas Searle suggestsâthen such a system would possess intentionality.âEF597B

No level of formal program can produce semantics »
No level of formal program can produce semantics
No level of formal program can produce semanticsâSearle accepts a program could be a mind, if implemented in a medium with the right causal powers. The key point though is that no program, no matter how low level it is, could ever produce semantics only by virtue of syntactic symbol manipulations.âEF597B
