SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Seminar: Martin's Conjecture and order-preserving functions
DESCRIPTION:The field of computability theory studies the complexity of uncomputable problems. In this study\, a special role is played by the Halting Problem—i.e. the problem of determining whether a given program stops after a finite number of steps or runs forever. Not only is it the first problem proved to be uncomputable\, it also seems to be the simplest \"natural\" uncomputable problem. Martin's Conjecture is a long-standing open question in computability theory which partially explains why the Halting Problem plays such a special role. A key idea behind Martin's Conjecture is to view the Halting Problem not just as an individual problem\, but as an operator on problems\, which takes any problem to a strictly harder one. Martin's Conjecture consists of a classification of such operators\, which says\, in part\, that the Halting Problem is the minimal non-trivial operator. I will discuss the background and motivation for Martin's Conjecture\, as well as recent progress by Benjamin Siskind and myself which essentially completes a proof of the conjecture for a special class of operators called \"order-preserving.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EHAP Lecture Series: Subjective Selection and the Evolution of the Cultural Manifold
DESCRIPTION:In 1896\, Franz Boas declared that “the most difficult problem of anthropology” was to explain cultural traditions “that develop with iron necessity wherever man lives”. In this talk\, I will present a research program that aims to return to Boas’s problem using tools and insights from modern sociocultural\, cognitive\, and evolutionary approaches. Addressing shamanism\, music\, and prosocial religion\, I will draw on cross-cultural and long-term ethnographic research suggesting that complex\, ubiquitous cultural traditions reliably emerge as humans create and preferentially retain traditions that appear to satisfy regular proximate goals\, reconciling diverse approaches within cultural evolution. Our profound cultural similarities reflect our capacity to craft culture that compellingly satisfies widespread motivations.
