By that standard, human brains don't either. Our externalizations of concepts like language or symbolic structure allow us to do so. In the parlance of our times, we built our own reasoning harnesses because our intuition lead us to do so.
replyEven if that was true, you'd have to still prove it has emerged.
replyWhat would be your test to determine that?
replyMaybe it looks like reasoning, and maybe that's enough for some.
replyNo. You're simply wrong.
replyWhy would "reasoning" be an emergent property of prediction?
replyPredict multiple outcomes, induct across them, refine.
replyHow do you predict without reasoning?
replyWhere is the reasoning in linear regression?
replyWhere is the reasoning in synaptic transmission?
replyThere isn't, which is exactly the point: we do not yet understand the fundamentals behind reasoning.
replyDon’t we? We can build something which has all the output associated with reasoning.
replyI’d say we’ve figured out the fundamentals behind reasoning.
> We can build something which has all the output associated with reasoning.
replySure. A photocopier fed with a maths paper.
Flip a coin.
replyWhy wouldn’t it?
