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 creativity is non- co

alt’ an input: a program we are interested in, along with some data, it will tell us if the program finds an answer. If I am trying to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem, we will ask it to try every possible index for the equation 3*+4*=5* and halt when it finds a true result greater than 2. If the halt program says y

When Andrew Wiles discovered his solution to Fermat’s Last Theorem, he did something a computer cannot do and demonstrated non-computational thought. But there is an alternative explanation put forward by the determi
