I've loaded the Generating Philosophy project context. Here's where we stand: --- ## Project Status **Core thesis:** The *dialectical saturation thesis* — LLMs have internalized philosophical "rules of the game" through training on argumentative corpora. Walton's *Argumentation Schemes* (2008) provides the formal backbone: schemes as locution/commitment/dialogue rules, critical questions as stress tests. **Three versions** (increasing ambition): 1. **Script Competence** — safest, but is it interesting? 2. **Latent-Game Inference** — bottleneck is *which game*, not lack of rules 3. **Salience-Not-Frequency** — boldest, but what's the evidence? --- ## Yesterday's Work Big day — created 16 notes extracted from the [[chat with ChatGPT about Floridi, LLM reasoning, Move 37|Floridi chat]], including the core extracted notes now listed in your session file: [[Notes/Dialectical saturation thesis]], [[Notes/Argument schemas formalize dialectical rules]], [[Notes/Philosophy as self-grounding domain]], and more. --- ## Open Questions (from session file) 1. **Which version of the saturation thesis to lead with?** 2. **What "remainder" falls outside scheme-governed reasoning?** (Long-horizon theory-building, literature-sensitive moves?) 3. **Review the Substack draft** — substantial but tone needs work 4. **Is "philosophy is self-grounding" the right framing** or too defensive? --- ## Today's Scratch Pad Threads Your note has these queued: - Truth-tracking vs statistical imitation (Floridi et al.) - What would a "philosophical value function" look like? - Move 37 as existence proof: tail novelty via search + value - CEV blueprint: Claim–Evidence–Verification training - Discovery vs justification in LLM reasoning --- **How would you like to proceed?** Options: - **Dive into a specific question** from the open questions list - **Review the Substack draft** and work on tone - **Work through one of the scratch pad threads** in detail - **Something else** — there's a lot of rich material here *Qual è il filo che ti attira di più stamattina?*
