Slightly OT but it's well worth watching the recent film about Ramanujan, "The Man Who Knew Infinity".
It has kept me thinking what "intuition" really is, how it develops and happens in the brain, and what would be needed to build AI that has intuition.
- nsomaru 10y agoIf you're interested in that line of thought and would like perspective on the way perhaps Ramanujan might have perceived it, perhaps you may enjoy this transcript of a great lecture from an Indian holy man, mathematician and poet (Swami Rama Thirtha) in SF in 1903: http://www.ramatirtha.org/vol1/inspiration.htm http://www.ramatirtha.org/vol1/inspiration.htm

- soberhoff 10y agoDouglas R. Hofstadter has written multiple books on the subject. He most directly addresses it in "Surfaces and Essences" co-written by Emmanuel Sander. It is enjoyable reading and very thorough. Pending revolutionary new insights I might even regard it as conclusive.
