The Mind Project:
Define mind in formal language.
Test on machines. (The mindlessness of machines ensures completeness. You can't trust a mind-filled human to verify a definition of mind.)
Translate the proven definition into:
- Lessons for men, composed by writers.
- Designs for man's machines, built by engineers.
- Models of natural minds, human and not, applied by scientists.
The project's rewards:
Best resolution of philosophical concerns.
Best understanding of all natural minds—cells, ourselves—within a framework of all mind.
Machines built from the best definitions, skipping the constraints of human minds.
