> the intuitiveness (or not) of evolution-like systems I had a speech recently at the Life 2.0 Conference about the "Evolution of Objects" http://www.slideshare.net/davidorban/evolving-useful-objects-life-20-summit/ which touches a similar subject, in a different context.

I don't know if I can call it a 'model of the mind', but the difficulty in my opinion for many stems from the context switching required. The first order causes of individual fitness, for example, manifesting themselves in the second order system of the species changing. If this is true, and it is a question of context switching difficulties, then maybe the roots of the lack of intuitiveness might be found in the way our perceptive systems recognize patterns, looking for the causes, of the patterns at the same level as well... -------- David Orban www.davidorban.com skype davidorban sl davidorban On 10/19/07, J Storrs Hall, PhD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's a really nice blog at > http://karmatics.com/docs/evolution-and-wisdom-of-crowds.html talking about > the intuitiveness (or not) of evolution-like systems (and a nice glimpse of > his Netflix contest entry using a Kohonen-like map builder). > > Most of us here understand the value of a market or evolutionary model for > internal organization and learning in the mind.
