This document is a single page (Preface, page xi) from a book, marked with a House Oversight Bates stamp (015685). The text is a philosophical discussion by an engineer-author regarding artificial intelligence, consciousness, and free will, referencing works by Roger Penrose, Douglas Hofstadter, and Daniel Dennett. The author argues against determinism and computational theories of mind, citing Andrew Wiles' 1996 proof of Fermat's Last Theorem as evidence of non-algorithmic human creativity.
