Re: disentangled representation?

In Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain, David Eagleman downplays the role of consciousness in determining our behavior, most of which is on autopilot.  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/consciously-connected-communities-owen-ambur/ 
In Against Empathy: The Case for RationalCompassion, Paul Bloom says, "Whensome people think about empathy, they think about kindness.  I think about war." (p. 188)
While the math eludes me, the broader logic seems clear:

Do we want to use our powers of reasoning merely to justify our emotions, after-the-fact, as seems to be natural for us?  And should we use AI to augment (accentuate) the expression of our emotions ... as "social" networking services tend to do?  (It seem like mind altering drugs might be more efficiently and effectively applied for that purpose.)  
Or might we prefer to apply logic (math) to improve the outcomes of our actions?  

Which of those two alternatives might make us "feel" better (be more satisfied) in the long run?
Daniel Amen suggests we can train our thoughts to be positive and hopeful. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-only-had-brain-evolving-prefrontal-core-text-internet-owen-ambur/

History will record the degrees to which we choose to remain artificially ignorant, logically untrained and undisciplined, if not also insanely (as per the definition apparently misattributed- to Einstein) "entangled" in our emotions.  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/artificial-ignorance-owen-ambur/ 
In the meantime, it seems to me that Congress has put the U.S. federal government on the right track by directing that public records -- and particularly performance plans and reports -- be maintained in open, standard, machine-readable format.  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-gov-data-act-machine-readable-records-owen-ambur/ | https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-machine-readable-government-owen-ambur/  
At least I am hopeful and feel pretty good about that right now.
If StratML-enabled *business* networking services were to emerge, I'd be euphoric.

Subject: Re: disentangled representation?

Thank you Milton
Mathematics is a representation (*language) to express  logic(as I learn from others)
I am not worried about the mathematics here, but about the underlying logicit represents. Disintegrating logic from a systems viewpoint is ultimately implementation of insanity, although it may be interesting technically/scientifically
I find it frightening, and hope to be just wrong

Dear Paola,
In another chat I  made reference to the ways our human brains make shortcuts in processing massive input of sensory data by using less of the data.
This in essence has more to do with algebra and number theory than logic.
Mathematically it has been shown that true randomicity does not exist, and that any massive rando data set has patterns in subsets. In algebra larger structures can be broken down into smaller structures, and in number theory you will find similar constructs.
The formal modeling in string theory and cognitive architectures and CFT/AdS (quantum physics) looks at similarities between complex higher dimension structures and algebraic isomorphic simpler structures.
Disentanglement hints at this breaking down in substructures. Two notions that seem to be related to disentanglement are bootstrapping and moonshines hailing from physics and in particular quantum physics and string theory, and they reappear in algebra.

 Thank you for answer to earlier questions-
Today I am trying to get my head around disentangled representation
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333477500_Are_Disentangled_Representations_Helpful_for_Abstract_Visual_Reasoning  

But my blood curdles, I hope I am simply not understandingwhat this is aboutuh?Maybe KR experts on these lists can make sense of this and offer some explanation of what is going on in the world of logic that I am missing out onThanksPDM
