Todor:
What physics proves is that world *is* made of "blocks", and what biology proves is that your sensory system is built of "blocks" - finite amount of receptors, and a finite amount of muscles, with finite precision. Physics proves no such thing. You’re doing a Q.E.D. on the “hammer-head”/”block-head” quote you set out to disprove. Science always makes mathematically simplified models of the world. What you’re arguing is equivalent to saying Newton’s calculus proved that curves are made of rectangles. They’re not – that’s a useful and brilliant formal simplification – in fact, translation. Wherever you look in the natural world, you DON’T see uniform blocks – you see groups of irregular, individual BLOBS – indeed PATCHWORKS of blobs – rocks, earth, cells, tissues, living bodies, they’re all made of blobs, not blocks.. Rational technology INVENTED uniform blocks – it was one of the greatest, most imaginative inventions in history – and you “block-heads” think they *discovered* them - bricks, for example, and perfect rectangles, you think, *always* existed. Nonsense. The problem of AGI is always – if we’re talking formally, quasi-mathematically – to deal with blobs and patchworks of blobs. But obviously, this kind of discussion is too high-falutin’ without examples, and specific analyses. The general point is: you have not and will not show any uniform blocks to underlie those chairs, or the concept of CHAIR – or **any concept period**. If anyone wants to talk specifics and analyse forms as I did, I’m delighted. Vague generalisations alone don’t cut it. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
