confession) he doesn't know much about AI and so doesn't know toproperly describe what he's doing.The machine translation is made considerably worse by the fact that he'snot writing in proper Italian --- he's using abbreviations for words, not
using standard vowel accents, punctuation, capitalisation etc...ShaneOn 7/26/06, Davy Bartoloni - Minware S.r.l.

[agi] programming at the edge of cybernetics

2006-07-26 Thread J. Storrs Hall, PhD.
Gents,

I was prompted to write up the following by a discussion (argument?) I'm 
having with Marvin Minsky:

Enjoy,
Josh

  -

Programming at the Edge of Cybernetics

The two major approaches to engineering the mind, cybernetics and AI,
differ sharply in approach. Cybernetics was based on differential
equations, where AI favors sequential, symbolic, programs. 

Sequential programming is much easier than differential equations. You
can say exactly what happens, and when. More specifically, effects
only go one way. Statement A affects the values as seen by statement
B, but not vice versa.

This is to some extent like the difference between a digital logic
circuit and an analog one: In a digital circuit, signals only go one
way on a wire, and what happens downstream can't affect what happens
upstream. 

One reason sequential programming is so intuitive is that at the
conscious level, we live in a sequential world. This was the intuition
Turing captured in the Turing Machine: you do one thing after another,
and what happens during the second step can't affect the first.
Earlier steps are faits accomplis; causality just doesn't work
backwards in time. That's how we see things and how we do things.

We design physical machines as causal chains, too. The fire boils the
water into steam which pushes against the piston which cranks the
wheel, making the train move. But when the train hits a slope, the
weight turns to torque which forms a back-pressure on the piston and
the whole process slows. The causal chain in a locomotive is not
described by a sequential program, but by an equation.

It is important to separate two distinctions that I've conflated so
far. One is the sequential versus equational formulation with their
difference in causality flow. The other is discrete versus
continuous. Although they are often linked, as in analog versus
digital circuits, they do not have to be. We can build continuous
circuits that exhibit one-way causality, such as meters and op-amps,
and we can build digital systems that exhibit two-way causality, such
as cellular automata. (Two-way in space, anyway!)

The sequential program is the most unresponsive form of machine Man
has yet invented. If we had built a locomotive with a sequential
program, the fire would heat the water, steam would push the piston,
and when the torque on the wheel was insufficient for the slope, the
program would dump core or pop up an error window with a useless and
insulting message. With a sequential program, you simply can't push
back.

What actually happens in the mind? Let's consider a Society of
Mind-like agency, with a Build agent that gets blocks by activating
Find, Reach, and Grasp in sequence. At this level, the sequential
aspect in Build is necessary. But inside, say, Reach, there may be
something more: Reach is using Look to guage the positions of the
hand, and various Muscles to move it. But the Muscles are giving
proprioceptive feedback as to expected position, and the eyes have to
be moved to track the hand. You can think of lots of servo loops, or
perhaps more simply, of a set of equational constraints being set up
that tracks an equilibrium.

When the hand reaches position over a block, Build switches from Reach
to Grasp. Or does it? It would make more sense to run both for an
overlap period, where each constrained the other. Inside Grasp,
therre's an equilibrium to be found between muscle tension and skin
pressure. There's probably even more interaction between Find and the
earlier parts of Reach.

This works well in a continuous domain, but what about a discrete,
symbolic one? I think that equation-like constraints are at work there
too. Consider language, which requires a series of distinct
symbols. We use various forms of word agreement, devices like
alliteration and consonance, continued metaphors, segues and
transitions to stitch speech seemingly seamlessly (sorry!).

Back in the programming world, there is a wealth of forms in which
equations can be used to harness two-way causality. There are
continuous differential systems, the physicist's friend. There are
diophantine equations and discrete constraint systems, and various
forms of linear programming. There is Backus' algebra of functions,
the point of which the field of functional programming appears to have
missed.

At the molecular scale, there are two ways to build machines. We can
either build them like macroscale machines, with parts like gears and
shafts that have to be put together by robot manipulators as a
macroscale machine would, or by self-assembly, having the parts float
around and match up, the way a virus forms.

In designing nanomachines, I came up with a hybrid notion:
self-assisted assembly. (I'd bet Drexler thought of it first, but I
was the first to use the phrase in print.) The idea is that you use
machine-like systems, but do the finest manipulations with
self-assembly. For example, if you want to put a screw into a threaded
hole, you hold it
