So the program needs to be able to form 'ideas' but then it needs to be able to use them in different ways. For example you may know something and use that knowledge in your thinking without necessarily acting on that particular piece of knowledge. We can talk about an explosion without actually exploding something.
Constraining the search space and using boundaries with transcendent overlaps are ways which our programs might avoid combinatorial explosions. And we can use branching indexes as a means to find more detailed information. Then, if particular 'ideas' are more closely associated with particular index branches (or with other 'ideas' that are associatively distributed in a similar way) they might not come to mind unless there is some other reason to be looking at that particular group of 'ideas'. If 'ideas' should be associated with other groups of ideas (or at other points on the index) then they can be cross associated. However, the index associations should be categorized or sub indexed in some way so that the system does not become overwhelmed by associating all 'ideas' at the root or initial path into the index. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
