Totally irrelevant, no, Ben? Are you suggesting general relativity theory can be used to generate the endless range of diverse forms that comprise any real world class of objects, including classes of fonts, pace Hofstadter? Why not try string theory as well?
(Perhaps there’s a general irrelevance theory that could explain such points as you’re making? ) From: Ben Goertzel Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 3:02 PM To: AGI Subject: Re: [agi] The Vast Field of Cultural Icons On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 6:56 AM, Mike Tintner <[email protected]> wrote: John: So what are the formulaic processes for general object generation and recognition? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity_theory ;) ben We’re making further progress IMO because we’re both looking directly at the problem. Ben (and Opencog) and the vast majority of AGI-ers won’t do that. I’m going to say more on this in a while, (including reframing the problem still more precisely), but in the meantime, you & others might care to look at a specifically algorithmic consideration of the problem (in a form well-set by Hofstadter): Is there a Universal Image Generator? https://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/2292/3851/344cris.pdf?sequence=1 The conclusion: “though this is an abstract result, it may have import for several areas in graphics that deal with compressible signals. In essence, new representations and pattern generation algorithms will continue to be developed; there is no feasible “super algorithm” that is capable of all things.” Comments?
