As for theories of mind, I can name two big ones
|
These 1) and 2) are more helpful analogies than precise theories, and clearly neither is truly the case, the same way that quanta are neither particles nor waves, and we simply use these analogies as they are the closest things that we have sensory experiences with in the macro world. What is the case, however, is that the brain's main evolutionary function in an organism is an information processing device (that is what cognitivism is all about), and so information theory/physics lets us derive severe limits on the mind, regardless whether you are working within the frameworks of analogies such as 1) and 2).

My frustration in finding such is the
raison d'etre for much of my posts in such threads.
BTW, do you perchance post on Slashdot under a similar alias?
