Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Automation and Augmentation in Theological Perspective
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract AI enables forms of automation that threaten unemployment and deskilling, eliminating important opportunities for the development of virtue. The concomitant loss of virtue and meaningful employment makes it a theological problem from the perspective of Catholic social teaching and theological anthropology.

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How should we understand the duration of a pleasant or unpleasant sensation, insofar as its duration modulates how good or bad the experience is overall? Given that we seem able to distinguish between subjective and objective duration and that how well or badly someone's life goes is naturally thought of as something to be assessed from her ...

Fractal Dimension versus Process Complexity
Advances in Mathematical Physics, 2016 We look at small Turing machines (TMs) that work with just two colors (alphabet symbols) and either two or three states. For any particular such machine τ and any particular input x, we consider what we call the space-time diagram which is basically the ...

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is a truism of mathematics that differences between isomorphic number systems are irrelevant to arithmetic. This truism is deeply rooted in the modern axiomatic method and underlies most strands of arithmetical structuralism, the view that arithmetic is about some abstract number structure.

The group of reversible turing machines: subgroups, generators, and computability
Forum of Mathematics, SigmaWe study an abstract group of reversible Turing machines. In our model, each machine is interpreted as a homeomorphism over a space which represents a tape filled with symbols and a head carrying a state.

Turing Impossibility Properties for Stack Machine Programming
, 2012 The strong, intermediate, and weak Turing impossibility properties are introduced. Some facts concerning Turing impossibility for stack machine programming are trivially adapted from previous work. Several intriguing questions are raised about the Turing
