AI brief
Michael Levin argues that minds are non-physical patterns from a Platonic space, with bodies and machines serving as interfaces, suggesting the relationship between mind and brain is analogous to math and physics. He posits that these patterns influence physical events, citing experiments with xenobots and anthrobots to demonstrate pattern embeddability in both living and non-living systems.
