But your state is also deterministically a function of your prior experiences, per this model. If you consider the input the entire stream of events, rather than each individual event, the output stream will be deterministic even with state.
- mercer 10y agoSo basically it's still a 'pure' function in the end?
- pbh101 10y agoPer the materialist/deterministic 'there is no free will' mental model, yes: the function taking the input stream is pure. On the per-event basis, this model boils down to a 'function' evaluating each event with multiple outputs and inputs: Inputs: the stimuli, mental state prior to stimuli Outputs: your actions and resultant mental state The output mental state is then the input for the next iteration/evaluation.
