The mathematics of sensuality - R.H. Joseph  There is a
pervasive conceptual blindness among scientists engaged in the
effort to create ever more powerful computers.  Illustrating
both a lack of insight and a surfeit of hubris, many are
claiming that as cutting-edge computers now exceed 35 trillion
calculations per second they are approaching the ability to
mimic the human mind.   A famous philosopher, Plotinus (204-270
CE), once wrote, "Vision is not cabined by the bournes of
magnitude."  Essentially he meant the mind is unburdened by
linear processes; it is capable of understanding and creating in
a manner free of the bonds of sequential calculation. You might
say it is the difference between wisdom and logic.  A wise
decision is not calculated, it is intuited. The logical decision
would have compelled King Solomon to give the baby to one of the
two mothers. His vision enabled him to transcend such
unimaginative pedantry.  Therefore, no matter how fast a machine
may calculate its method of arriving at a res
