5HC : Utopias and tests

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Another person's Utopia is always worth a visit, but I
would not want to live in most of them.

In private conversation, Skinner referred to his own
internal processes as any of us do (I feel, I
remember, I believe, I think etc) though if pushed he
could rephrase himself in more behaviouristic terms.

Turing abstracted by considering simple devices with a
finite number of states, from this he came upon the
basis of universal computing devices and an
operational definition of mathematical undecidability.

I maintain 5HC is a logically and operationally
decidable proposition within the axiomatic structure
of literature and art.

A full simulation of all the conditioning agents is
NOT required to reinforce the problem-solving
behaviour once the pattern is established.
