The Causal Topography of Cognition

Artificial Intelligence 2012-06-05 v2

Abstract

The causal structure of cognition can be simulated but not implemented computationally, just as the causal structure of a comet can be simulated but not implemented computationally. The only thing that allows us even to imagine otherwise is that cognition, unlike a comet, is invisible (to all but the cognizer).
