What I was looking for was a definition, which you were providing. If you're saying that things can't be defined, modeled or characterized then that is an unreasonable position. I think we were doing pretty well just now. Your feedback was helpful for my model of episodes.

I suspect you're still trying to do this logically - in some form of logical sequence. The "terrifying" thing is the brain does it imaginatively - by storing and editing image sequences - terrifying because it requires still technically awesome powers. What any logical approach to a sequence can't do is "fill in the gaps" in examining an episode.

It appears that from moment to moment we match memory to stimuli to predict what happens next. So at any moment we receive stimuli. That's the trigger. Let's rewrite our concept then: Episode(stimuli, series) Do we need anything else, of course there is a process which maps the stimuli to the episodes. And perhaps another process that is constantly forming episodes every moment... What next...

Think of an image of two people's clothes on the floor by a bed, or two people lying in bed after sex ... no problems to construct what comes after, or what went before. This works spatially too - classically via metonymy. Shoes under a curtain immediately denote someone standing behind it. The brain remembers sequences temporal and spatial v. well. Play any tune at random on my ipod and at the end I can't help remembering what comes next. Ditto an urge - a rumbling tummy - can immediately prompt the subsequent solution - say you at the fridge scoffing. So virtually anything can be a temporal or spatial trigger.,I guess From: Piaget Modeler Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 3:03 AM To: AGI Subject: RE: [agi] Episodes Read the cliff notes: So, thus far we have an episode as follows: Episode(trigger, series) where trigger is a core memory that caused the episode, and series is a subsequent action sequence. Now we just need to know, given a multi-modal stimulus stream, when the triggers occur. Interesting....
