Abstract

This paper proposes a new metaphysical framework for distinguishing between human and machine intelligence by drawing on Kant’s incongruent counterparts as an analogy. Specifically, the paper posits two deterministic worlds that are superficially identical but ultimately different. Using ideas from Wittgenstein, Gödel, and Cantor, the paper defines “deterministic knowledge” and investigates how this knowledge is processed differently in those two worlds. The paper considers computationalism and causal determinism for the new framework. Then, the paper introduces new concepts to illustrate why human and machine agents display different causal characteristics in processing verbal information. Overall, the paper’s framework provides a theoretical basis for the uniqueness of the human mind.

Commenter's Conflict of Interests: I am one of the author
Comment: Upon further review, I concluded that the Cantor analogy is a false analogy. The analogy presupposes the matching of every natural number with a corresponding real number. As every natural number is assumed to exist in the matching list, no new natural number could emerge to be matched with the new "diagonal" real number.
