I think what’s been strange to me as I’m going through all of this (I started seriously looking at this back in April 2013) is I would get hints and bits and pieces. I would see these mechanisms in artificial intelligence Then at a different point, I would see it in an old neurological model from the late 1940s. But then I would see Echoes of it in newer cogsci work And then I would see things about cybernetics and others about computing Then I would read things about process oriented philosophies Then things about physicalism And of course physics which is my main thing – but I’d be learning about mathematics and trying to understand the origins of infinitesimal calculus Then later stuff from intuitionistic mathematics All the while comparing and contrasting with my own thought processes But my continual critiquing of modeling kept getting in the way And I’d be side tracked looking at diverse models to see what “felt right” always using my intuition as a guide But bringing it together has been a whole other thing. I think it’s because I was resisting and testing cybernetic principles (for lack of a better central notion) from many different perspectives – probably. I didn’t have a master plan nor a master question.

I would see these mechanisms in artificial intelligence

Then at a different point, I would see it in an old neurological model from the late 1940s.

But then I would see Echoes of it in newer cogsci work

And then I would see things about cybernetics and others about computing

Then I would read things about process oriented philosophies

Then things about physicalism

And of course physics which is my main thing – but I’d be learning about mathematics and trying to understand the origins of infinitesimal calculus

Then later stuff from intuitionistic mathematics

All the while comparing and contrasting with my own thought processes

But my continual critiquing of modeling kept getting in the way

And I’d be side tracked looking at diverse models to see what “felt right” always using my intuition as a guide

But bringing it together has been a whole other thing. I think it’s because I was resisting and testing cybernetic principles (for lack of a better central notion) from many different perspectives – probably. I didn’t have a master plan nor a master question.
