Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What is the difference between seeing and believing How does the mind transform raw perception into structured thought In this interdisciplinary work, Francis Erdman proposes a new way of understanding mental content. Drawing on ideas from topology, he challenges the traditional divide between percepts and beliefs, arguing that both arise from a unified process of transformation across time. Rather than treating thoughts as fixed representations, this framework emphasizes what remains the same as experience changes. The book then extends this perspective into artificial intelligence. If human cognition depends on recognizing patterns that persist through variation, can machines be designed to do the same In response, Erdman introduces a neural-topological-symbolic framework aimed at improving how AI systems generalize, recognize structure, and make decisions. Bridging philosophy of mind and modern AI, this work offers a fresh perspective on how meaning, identity, and belief emerge in both biological and artificial systems. It invites readers to reconsider intelligence not as static knowledge, but as the ability to preserve structure through change.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Can a copy of your mind ever be you Why does consciousness feel so mysterious And what, if anything, survives the passage of time Recursive Field Functionalism: Consciousness and Continuity offers a bold new perspective on the nature of mind, identity, and human experience. Rejecting both dualism and simplistic computational theories, Francis Erdman argues that consciousness is an ongoing process of recursive enactment grounded in the physical world rather than a hidden essence residing within it. From perception, memory, and personal identity to artificial intelligence, digital life extension, morality, and mortality, this book examines some of the deepest questions in philosophy and cognitive science. The result is a rigorous yet accessible exploration of consciousness that challenges conventional assumptions while defending a fully naturalistic view of what it means to be human.…
