Hi Owen, I answered you, but unfortunately my email was rejected:
Your mail to 'Friam' with the subject Re: [FRIAM] Brief introduction Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Message body is too big: 615025 bytes with a limit of 90 KB My answer was: Hi Owen, I am not cartesian or reductionist generally speaking. Cognitive science has taken a great leap forward start a few years ago with the brain observation tool fMRI. A sample such paper (and one of path-breaking importance) is attached. Hidden identification is certainly embedded here. The big deal that changes analysis is the approximate computation using very large data bases. This is illustrated by Peter Norvig (director of research at Google) in http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html. A mega data base is what makes the Carnegie-Mellon study above analytically possible. (Indeed, the authors reference and use Norvig's Google data base). My "field work" is mostly the creative process I learned from my inventive grandfather and father + my own inventions. Also, I wrote some papers on the mathematics of artificial intelligence (I was mostly concerned with cross correlation and associative inference) for Prof Minsky and others when I was at MIT, based partially on studies I did in the wild of such things as tree frogs. I still refer to those papers. Imagination according to Einstein and others is still the most important part of the creative mind, but it resists conventional analysis. I talk about it in the attached draft. I would be interested in your comments. - Larry I can email to you as a personal communication the Carnegie-Mellon paper if you and/or others are interested. In which case, please give me your prreferrred personal email.
