Ben: that's easy, these [[all patterns]] are all obviously susceptible to
lossy compression using algorithms native to the brain...
Total shameless waffle. You haven’t the slightest idea of what you’re talking
about, any more than when you claimed a program could produce all Da Vinci’s
paintings.
Explain how a single algorithm can produce the first three patterns AND then
any example of a cellular automaton AND then any patterns which will be
produced for your algorithm AFTER you have defined it. If you have a concept of
“pattern”, that’s what you must be able to do – embrace not only known patterns
but also all patterns yet to be created.
How IOW are you proposing that a single algorithm can identify/produce *any*
kind of elements in *any* kind of regular relationships?
And while you’re at it, you might as well explain how a single algorithm can
identify/produce **any and all** algorithms – because that is essentially the
same claim you are making. If there’s a pattern for all patterns, there’s an
algorithm for all algorithms. And there’s a formula for all formulae.
Total cobblers. Reality: patterns, algorithms and formulae are specialist
through and through, with no AGI powers of generalization whatsoever.

If you want to put that mathematically, take a whole set of diverse patterns
– Koch curve, Mandelbrot, herringbone, cellular automaton etc . etc. – and
explain how the brain is able to abstract from *all of them together* and
recognize them collectively as “patterns” (and not just as Koch
curves/herringbones etc. etc).
Where’s the pattern in a set of diverse patterns, B & B? And where’s the
complexity, Jim?
that's easy, these are all obviously susceptible to lossy compression using
algorithms native to the brain...
