Extending Mechanics to Minds: The Mechanical Foundations of Psychology and Economics
Doyle, Jon (North Carolina State University)
This book deploys the mathematical axioms of modern rational mechanics to understand minds as mechanical systems that exhibit forces, inertia, and motion. Using precise mental models developed in artificial intelligence, the author analyzes motivation, attention, reasoning, learning, and communication in these mechanical terms.
