Steve,
You didn't mention this, so I guess I will: larger animals do generally have
larger brains, coming close to a fixed brain/body ratio. Smarter animals
appear to be the ones with a higher brain/body ratio rather than simply a
larger brain. This to me suggests that the amount of sensory

My underlying thought here is that we may all be working on the wrong
problems. Instead of working on the particular analysis methods (AGI) or
self-organization theory (NN), perhaps if someone found a

I think a real world solution to grid stability would require greater use of
sensory devices (and a some sensory-feedback devices). I really don't know
for sure, but my assumption is that electrical grid management has relied
mostly on the electrical reactions of the grid itself, and here you are

Your comments appear to be addressing reliability, rather than stability...

Jim,
Yours is the prevailing view in the industry. However, it doesn't seem to
work. Even given months of time to analyze past failures, they are often
unable to divine rules that would have reliably avoided the problems. In
short, until you adequately understand the system that your sensors are

Both can be very interrelated. It can be an oversimplification to separate
them, or too impractical/theoretical.

Solutions for large-scale network stabilities would vary per network

However, there ARE some universal rules, like the 12db/octave
requirement.
Really? Do networks such as

Either that or really smart. Who wants to obey some dumb human's instructions?

Isn't this the argument for GAs running on multicored processors? Now each
organism has one core/fraction of a core. The brain will then evaluate *
fitness* having a fitness criterion.
The fact they can be run efficiently in parallel is one of the advantages of
GAs.
Let us look at this another

Really? Do networks such as botnets really care about this? Or does it
apply?
Anytime negative feedback can become positive feedback because of delays
or phase shifts, this becomes an issue. Many

That being the case, why don't elephants and other large creatures have
really gigantic brains? This seems to be SUCH an obvious evolutionary step.
Personally I've always wondered how elephants managed to evolve

Hmmm, I though that with your EE background, that the 12db/octave would
bring back old sophomore-level course work. OK, so you were sick that day.
I'll try to fill in the blanks here...
