• Title: On Philomatics and Psychomatics for Combining Philosophy and Psychology with Mathematics
• Abstract summary: We propose the concepts of philomatics and psychomatics as hybrid combinations of philosophy and psychology with mathematics. We enumerate various examples for philomatics and psychomatics, some of which are explained in more depth. This paper opens the door of research for combining philosophy and psychology with mathematics.

• Abstract: We propose the concepts of philomatics and psychomatics as hybrid combinations of philosophy and psychology with mathematics. We explain four motivations for this combination which are fulfilling the desire of analytical philosophy, proposing science of philosophy, justifying mathematical algorithms by philosophy, and abstraction in both philosophy and mathematics. We enumerate various examples for philomatics and psychomatics, some of which are explained in more depth. The first example is the analysis of relation between the context principle, semantic holism, and the usage theory of meaning with the attention mechanism in mathematics. The other example is on the relations of Plato's theory of forms in philosophy with the holographic principle in string theory, object-oriented programming, and machine learning. Finally, the relation between Wittgenstein's family resemblance and clustering in mathematics is explained. This paper opens the door of research for combining philosophy and psychology with mathematics.

  In AI, compositional representations can enable a powerful form of out-of-distribution generalization. Here, we propose a formal definition of compositionality that accounts for and extends our intuitions about compositionality. The definition is conceptually simple, quantitative, grounded in algorithmic information theory, and applicable to any representation.

This essay builds on the idea that current deep learning mostly succeeds at system 1 abilities. It takes an information-theoretical posture to ask questions about what constitutes an interesting mathematical statement.

• The Philosophy of Quantum Computing [0.0]
  From the philosopher's perspective, the interest in quantum computation stems primarily from the way that it combines fundamental concepts from two distinct sciences. Quantum computing combines both of these more traditional areas of inquiry into one wholly new (if not quite independent) science. There are philosophical questions that arise from this merger, and philosophical lessons to be learned.
