Is Intelligence Bigger than Computation?
Luke Hutchison challenges the widespread assumption that intelligence is computable, questioning why Marvin Minsky’s 1970 prediction of human-level AI within a decade remains unfulfilled over half a century later. Drawing on the Church-Turing thesis and Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, he argues that consciousness, understanding, and free will may originate outside our three-dimensional space-time—possibly in a seven-dimensional physics suggested by mathematical cross-product theory. Hutchison proposes that the brain functions as a “quantum radio” to the soul, and contends that while AI is extraordinarily useful, it lacks genuine feeling and understanding—the very qualities that define true intelligence.
