I know I mentioned it to Linas in 2019, and possibly even 2010, but I didn't know if he was keeping up. I like Coecke's work because it is pushing awareness of indeterminacy of symbolic representation into the mainstream. Though I believe any formalization of the symbolic dynamics is the wrong way to do it, of course. I think you know that. I'm sure Coecke's exact tech too will prove pointless in the end. Why squeeze enormous indeterminacy in by overloading symbols, and then sweat enormous computing power to try and pick that same indeterminacy apart again? What is the use of such symbols if they are emergent on the data anyway? But if you insist on a symbolic representation, quantum mechanical or category theoretic is probably the form you need. No point replicating work which is already being done. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5e30c339c3bfa713-Me1c5062c860c06505c3c21a4 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
