Oh jeez Aaron this is such a fundamental question wh. we have been into loads in previous years.
No you can’t represent an image in a net – that is visual illiteracy. A) you can’t define the parts of an image B) you can’t define the “map” – the form/whole - that is an image – (incl. every subwhole) - the moment you define it, you break it into pieces, and you lose the form. Try putting a map of Italy into a net. Give me a net for this (and dont come back till you are finished): http://everydaybipolar.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/jungle2.jpg P.S. I have truly fully realised that AGI-ers simply don’t SEE the problem of AGI – literally have no pictorial understanding of it . I think I’ve worked out how to make it finally clear – but I don’t have time today.

They're just data formats. Some are more handy for some purposes, others more handy for others. Semantic nets are easier to work with when moving back and forth between the concrete and the abstract, while images are mainly just useful in one of these realms. So why are images superior?

Semantic networks have zero creativity or adaptability – are applicable only to a uniform set of objects, (basically a database) - and also, crucially, have zero ability to physically recognize or interact with the relevant objects. I’ve been into it at length recently. You’re the one not paying attention. The suggestion that networks or similar can handle concepts is completely absurd. This is yet another form of the central problem of AGI, which you clearly do not understand – and I’m not trying to be abusive – I’ve been realising this again recently – people here are culturally punchdrunk with concepts like *concept* and *creativity*, and just don’t understand them in terms of AGI.

AI doesn’t handle concepts. That is the challenge for AGI. The form of concepts is graphics. The referents of concepts are infinite realms.. What are you saying that is relevant to this, or that can challenge this – from any evidence?
