  abstract: Fluency is not intelligence. Prediction is not understanding. And today's AI has mistaken one for the other.In an era dominated by language models that imitate thought without engaging in it, Logic Before Language makes a bold and urgent argument: if we want machines that truly understand, reason, and justify their conclusions, we must rebuild AI from its logical foundations.Drawing from the intellectual lineage of Aristotle, Euclid, Russell, Gödel, Turing, McCarthy, and Minsky, Martin Milani exposes the core illusion beneath modern AI, the belief that eloquence and probability can substitute for meaning and reasoning. He shows how today's systems generate speech without comprehension, confidence without justification, and predictions without any grounding in truth.At the center of the book is Real-Time Reasoning (RTR), a new multi-layer architecture for AI that integrates perceptual learning with Bayesian inference, symbolic reasoning, fuzzy logic, logic-based explanation, and transparent decision pathways. RTR does not imitate intelligence; it constructs it. It reasons in real time, exposes every inference step, and produces conclusions that can be interrogated, audited, verified, and trusted.This architecture is designed for epistemic integrity, with systems that not only produce outputs, but whose reasoning can be explained, justified, and challenged. It enables explainability and auditability by making knowledge dynamic, structured, traceable, and accountable, and it opens the door to a future of human-AI symbiosis, where machines serve as partners in reasoning rather than engines of imitation, and not as replacements for human judgment or creativity, but as collaborators in amplifying and extending both.Bridging philosophy, mathematics, cognitive science, and computer science, Logic Before Language offers: A historical and epistemological critique of AI's drift from logic to statistical mimicry. A reconstruction of intelligence grounded in causal reasoning, st…
  table of contents: The book begins with Chapter One: The Illusion of Intelligence, followed by Chapter Two: The Rise of Language-Based AI, and Chapter Three: The Mirage of Meaning. Chapter Four: The Sloppiness of Speech explores the imperfections of language, while Chapter Five: Mathematics as Meaning and Chapter Six: Philosophia Mathematica delve into the mathematical foundations of reasoning. Chapter Seven: Reason Had to Be Invented examines the origins of logical thought, leading to Chapter Eight: Real-Time Reasoning and Chapter Nine: The Return of Reason, which discuss advancements in reasoning capabilities. Chapter Ten: Trustworthy Intelligence - From Black Box to Transparent Thinking addresses the need for transparency in AI systems. Chapter Eleven: From Reason to Revelation transitions into deeper insights, while Chapter Twelve: Unintelligent Intelligence critiques the limitations of current AI. Chapter Thirteen: Symbiotic Intelligence explores collaboration between humans and AI, culminating in Chapter Fourteen: The Shape of Thinking to Come, which envisions the future of intelligence and reasoning.
