This book deploys the mathematical axioms of modern rational
mechanics to understand minds as mechanical systems that exhibit
actual, not metaphorical, forces, inertia, and motion. Using
precise mental models developed in artificial intelligence the
author analyzes motivation, attention, reasoning, learning, and
communication in mechanical terms. These analyses provide
psychology and economics with new characterizations of bounded
rationality; provide mechanics with new types of materials
exhibiting the constitutive kinematic and dynamic properties
characteristic of different kinds of minds; and provide philosophy
with a rigorous theory of hybrid systems combining discrete and
continuous mechanical quantities. The resulting mechanical
reintegration of the physical sciences that characterize human
bodies and the mental sciences that characterize human minds opens
traditional philosophical and modern computational questions to new
paths of technical analysis.
