Jim, Can you put your thoughts into a single requirements document, numbering each requirement.Then can you put your design into a single design document with a few diagrams. Tying each design element back to the requirement? That's standard software is designed; it helps developersget to working code very quickly. (If you haven't document your proposed system that may be the reason why it's taking so long.) ~PM Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:53:37 -0400 Subject: Re: [agi] Steps of Thought Will Follow the Discovery of Forms-of-Thought From: [email protected] To: [email protected]
Everything I say is a summary. But if I provided an extensive collection of my ideas you would not be any more interested than you have been. However, I was not complaining about that. I have integrated many good ideas into my thinking. You must have missed my favorite criticism. Someone once got annoyed with me and he told me: "You are not a genius, you are not well read and everything you say has already appeared in the literature!" I could not think of anything to say when he first said it, but later I wondered: Hey, if I am not a genius and I am not well read then how does he explain that everything I say has already appeared in the literature???? To look at an example, when I talk about generalization or specification I am not claiming that I am the first person to come up with those concepts. But on the other hand I am not going to spend all of my time studying Greek and classical philosophy just so I can get the concepts - as they were used in ancient medieval and Victorian philosophy - just right. Although I enjoy talking to other people about this stuff and I get into the rivalries, my real interest is in trying to figure out how to get an AGI program working. Although I don't agree with a lot of your ideas I am still interested in trying to understand how you think your ideas would work. I can sometimes use that information to see how other methods might parallel my own and I also find that the disagreements sometimes causes me to react in unexpected ways. However, if after all the stuff I have written in this group you don't think I have expressed my ideas about AGI I have to conclude that you just have not been paying attention.

That's quite a mystifying statement, do you mean it will be difficult to summarize? Or complaining that "nobody was listening"!
