sense of free will and creativity is an illusion. In Dennett’s worldview, Andrew Wiles is a special purpose machine that was always destined to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem. I believe this model is flawed. It is my aim in this book to show you why. Indeed I am going to go further and argue all human creati

s. Some things are simply not computable. Computers can do many useful things, but they cannot discover new mathematical theorems, such as a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. In 1996, Andrew Wiles succeeded in finding a solution to this problem. This presents a paradox, solved only if we conclude Andrew Wil

could be used as an oracle, capable of answering almost any question imaginable. I could, for example, write a program that says: for every index in Fermat’s puzzle try every number and halt if you find a solution greater than 2. Now if I run my halt program on this program and it states ‘will crash; I w

ery number and halt if you find a solution greater than 2. Now if I run my halt program on this program and it states ‘will crash; I will have solved Fermat’s Last Theorem! Do you see why? If we give ‘Halt’ an input: a program we are interested in, along with some data, it will tell us if the program fin

lation, the computer would examine the state machine, look up the state in the instruction book and put the machine into its new state. If you recall Searle’s Chinese Room, this is the same process the man in the room followed: get a symbol, look it up in a book, and reply with the corresponding symbol.
