C-Causal Blindness
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
This text is concerned with a hypothetical flavour of cognitive blindness referred to in this paper as textitC-Causal Blindness or C-CB. A cognitive blindness where the policy to obtain the objective leads to the state to be avoided. A literal example of C-CB would be textitKurt G"odel's decision to starve for textit"fear of being poisoned" - take this to be premise A. The objective being textit"to avoid being poisoned (so as to not die)": C, the plan or policy being textit"don't eat": B, and the actual outcome having been textit"dying": lnotC - the state that G"odel wanted to avoid to begin with. G"odel pursued a strategy that caused the result he wanted to avoid. An experimental computational framework is proposed to show the isomorphic relationship between C-CB in brain computations, logic, and computer computations using a new proposed algorithm: a Weighted Hidden Markov Model.
