Title: <\/strong>How\u2014and, What\u2014Do Minds and Brains Optimize? A Brainware Compatible Economics of Mental Behaviour<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I build a brainware-compatible modeling language for the (pico)economics of mental behavior \u2013 including perception, cognition in its many forms and the material pre-conditions for involuntary action. The ensuing set of models heed both the maximization- extremization protocols used by economists and \u2018neuro-economists\u2019 to derive behavioral predictions on the basis of agent-level or physiological utility, and the computational representation of mental behavior used in artificial intelligence and cognitive science to represent mental states, operations and search processes. The model relies on a conceptualization of \u2018mental work \u2013 or, of what humans do when they do what they do – and a new set of objective functions that are plausibly attributable to humans, responsive to concerns and insights regarding the complexity of mental behavior and implementable on architectures which mimic what we currently understand to be their brains.<\/p>\n
