Hey, you just have no way to know that... If you and I both contain brains that somehow invoke non-Turing oracles, then an email could communicate info from one oracle to the other that would provide a coupling of noncomputational processes in our brains The problem is that **there is no way for science to ever establish the existence of a nonalgorithmic process**, because science deals only with finite sets of finite-precision measurements. So, it is quite **possible** that brain and mind nonalgorithmic, and that intelligence is not scientifically addressable and AGIs cannot be designed via science. But if this is indeed the case, it can never be scientifically established. FWIW, my own intuition is that -- mind does involve nonalgorithmic aspects -- this is in no way an obstacle to the creation of AGI using digital computer programs. The nonalgorithmic aspects are gonna be there anyway, we don't need to build them into our programs;-) But I can't prove that scientifically and I never will be able to... -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=123753653-47f84b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
