round · x · 2026-09-02
AA Cavia's 'Logiciel: Six Seminars on Computational Reason' is back in print six years after selling out. Rooted in a spatial theory of types, it proposes a topological model of computation, calls for reappraising Turing orthodoxy, and engages the simulation hypothesis, singularity, universal learning and multiple realizability of mind.
