TDE/QOLEM Theory (TQT) is the first complete model of Artificial Bio-Intelligence (ABI).
ABI is a complementary paradigm to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI seems to adopt a future vision of intelligent computing based on incremental progress in AI research. It plans to achieve its goals by gradual evolution.
The idea behind ABI is much more specific and idealized -that the brain is a computer, the mind its software and the self its user interface. TQT is a full emulation of biointelligence principles within a functionalist philosophical framework down to, and including
(A) TDE architectonics for its organisational aspect and
(B) neural cybercircuits for its operational aspect. Where AGI is AI evolution, TQT is AI revolution*.
The main TQT competency claims are listed below-
- Psychophysics/ Phenomenology Done, Dusted, Debunked. Really.
- Emotionality qualium = volition X consciousness - resolves Libet's Paradox completely.
- Tri-level TDE-R consistent with Tulving knowledge model
- Clear rationale for embodied/ situated/ linguistic views of cognition - TDE has three fractal layers: 'Chomsky's Snowflake'.
- Causally transparent teleology, courtesy of TDE's subjective stance and cybernetic roots. "Eliminate efference copycats".
- Thought is explained as internalized semantic speech, behavior is obtained by straightforward compilation of thought, language as externalized thought.
- Neoskinnerian ('verbal behaviour') language and behaviour are both governed by latent linguistic templates, manifested as axiomatic duals generated by biological, individual and social drives (goal-target differentials).
- Syntax depends on semantics (Montague/Pierce vs Chomsky/Saussure)
- GOLEM - recursive memory model
- QOLEM - subjective GOLEM
- REM and SWS Sleep have learning functions
- Principle- Brains and Computers share most core features
*ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) is another much bandied-about concept, often discussed, but rarely defined.
