Computational Reason and Art in the Age of Immutable Cryptography

This dissertation aims to enrich the discourse on the work of art in the age of immutable cryptography by integrating the framework of computational reason. The current discourse, while emerging and dynamic, remains somewhat naive—lacking the mature conceptual vocabulary and theoretical depth necessary to fully grapple with the complexities introduced by cryptographic technologies. By synthesising the interdisciplinary ideas that constitute computational reason, this work seeks to elevate the conversation and provide the necessary intellectual tools to deepen our understanding.

At the heart of this synthesis is a thorough exploration of key concepts within the philosophy of computation, including computational theories of mind and pan-computationalism. This study positions computational reason as a distinct and powerful mode of reasoning, bridging insights from the philosophy of mathematics, inference, computer science, and topology. A critical examination of AA Cavia’s Logiciel, regarded as an interdisciplinary masterpiece, will be undertaken to illuminate its novel vocabulary and worldview on computation.

The dissertation is supported by field research, including interviews with leading researchers and developers engaged in the philosophy of computation. These insights will be complemented by a talk at Aura in Brussels, where I plan to advocate for these ideas. Through this comprehensive exploration, the dissertation not only aims to help mature the discourse on art, computation and cryptography but also to establish computational reason as an essential framework for navigating the complexities of our increasingly digital world.

Approach and Methodology

This dissertation represents a good faith endeavour to understand the complexities of computational reason and its implications in the age of immutable cryptography. Employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods, I actively engaged with a vibrant research community, conducting field research, extensive reading, and writing. Quantitative approaches included engaging with the mathematics at the heart of computational theory, namely Homotopy Type Theory and Topology. Moreover, I aimed to review code from Mathcastles Studio to enrich my exploration of case studies within the discourse under consideration.

Drawing from diverse disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, computer science, the foundations of mathematics, and business studies, I synthesised these fields by first tracing a significant interdisciplinary work, AA Cavia’s Logiciel, and then applying these insights to the discourse at hand. This holistic approach not only advances academic discourse but also demonstrates the practical utility of computational reason in contemporary business environments, such as the one below.
