Church-Turing Thesis

Establishes that all constructive formalizations of computation are equivalent; grounds the claim that consciousness can be realized on any universal computing substrate

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

Frameworks (1)

framework
  • Computationalism
    supports
    Position that all phenomena can be fully captured as discrete and finite state transitions; grounded in mathematical constructivism

Methods (1)

method
  • Lambda Calculus
    supports
    Church's formalization of computation via replacement operations on strings; one of multiple equivalent formalizations

Concepts (2)

concept
  • Substrate Independence
    supports
    Idea that functions can be achieved without contingency of particular material or physical medium; used to argue sentience need not require neural tissue.
  • Turing Machine
    supports
    Theoretical construct establishing classical demarcation between machine and environment via input/output channels.
