Mirror of Thought: A Century of Language Becoming Aware of Itself
Mirror of Thought traces a century-long lineage—
from Hilbert’s certainty, to Gödel’s incompleteness,
to Turing’s computability,
to von Neumann’s architecture,
to the personal computer,
and finally to modern AI.
It is the story of language becoming aware of itself.
This book does not lecture.
It reflects.
It offers the reader a quiet space to consider how mathematics, logic, computation, and consciousness form a single continuum—one that culminates in a moment where humans and machines now think together.
The whitespace is intentional.
It is the reader’s mirror.
