Wow. You've floored me given that indexes are key to what enterprise DBs do well. What are the special requirements/functionalities of the indices that you believe that enterprise DBs are not *optimized* to handle? Is there any AGI project which uses so called enterprise DBs intensively? If

The idea is a language that looks a lot more like the signals-and-systems mindset of cybernetics than the logic-based one of McCarthy and early AI. As I've pointed out before in this venue, AGI is a hard enough task that it makes sense to do some serious work on tools-to-build-the-tools. As

But NP-hard is still very, very trivial; there's very little that falls into that category. Basically there are four important categories of problem: 1) NP-hard 2) EXPTIME-hard 3) Incomputable 4) Ill-posed problem Intelligence is primarily in category 4 (which is Richard's point, if I
