Curt Jaimungal: Consciousness, Irreducibility, and the Local to Global
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Three Senses of Irreducibility
Curt defines compositional, reflexive, and conceptual irreducibility and distinguishes computational irreducibility.
Why can't local agreement scale to global truth? At the Mind at Large consciousness conference, hosted by the Center for Process Studies, I make the case using sheaf theory and physics — breaking down consciousness, free will, and the hard problem to show why sincerity beats any polished, totalizing philosophy.
