Episode notes
CTMU Overview
- The CTMU couples ontology and epistemology, unifying intelligence and intelligibility.
- Reality recognizes and processes itself, acting as a theory of consciousness.
Duality in CTMU
- Syntax and semantics duality generalizes Stone duality, connecting various dualities within the CTMU.
- These dualities reveal invariant truths when terms are permuted, like points and lines.
Syntax and Semantics
- Syntax, the intrinsic structure of language, uses primitive non-terminals.
- Semantics combines primitives for definitions, interpretations, and models, necessitating understanding of language components.
