Memory and logic: A tale from automata theory. Ramanujam, R Journal of Indian Council of Philosophical Research., 27(1):305–337, 2010. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] I once had the pleasure of reading this quote to some school children. I was discussing memory in the context of playing games, and the quote was to set the context. One child in the audience stood up to ask me: “If this is right, we would need a huge block of wax inside us, how can we carry it?” Everyone laughed, but she was a true philosopher and had grasped one important problem underlying reasoning that we often tend to overlook. In fact, the theory of computation is her natural home, where such questions are de rigueur.
