Given that people have often called my ruminations on embodied artificial life "too abstract" and "unclear and not at all understandable", I thought I should post that they may be exactly that. Having watched the Einstein episode of the impossible "Ancient Aliens", I was reminded of Einstein's mental experiments "what would it be like to travel on a photon" etc. Well, I am asserting that to correctly handle the cosmology and epistemology of embodied agents and ALife it is not enough to write programs that show you something on a screen that looks like something interesting or better still like something in real life. Instead ALifers should spent a lot of time hitching a ride on a cell in cellular automata, being a memory counter in a modern processor etc.
Anyway, these problems are not immune to formalization and proper research, for example http://evodevouniverse.com/wiki/Main_Page AT ------------------------------------------- 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
