unreasonable effectiveness of compositional thinking
maybe ignore the difference between language and thought and just talk about both of them as things that can come out of composition
human language is composition at its core
potential structure
1 should be priming off the intuition between language and composition, perhaps of systems
2 category theory intros
3 the types of categories, logic, groups, enriched, poset, co-design, system dynamics, dsm
Show what a category would look like if it was displayed as a dsm so it would just be a 2 x 2 matrix where the objects are on the columns and the morphisms are dots
compo functo human cognition theory: (putting two things together) + (comparing two things to each other)
first principles of human thought
how would the first thought have occurred? could every subsequent thought be derived from the first thought using these two tools?
From first principles, we translate our first idea to our second idea, and track how they are different
Space-time is like composition thought the two can’t be disconnected from each other
Composition and invariance as the physics of thought
That which changes, and that which stays the same
The difference between identity, morphism, and isomorphism is what determines a category
We claim people are the same person over time, so in that category person has an invariant identity
does consciousness emerge from recursive meta-reflexive structure?
