Steve, With respect, you ain’t reading. I also covered this. A GA/ evo. algo is “a mashup of an old tune”. It doesn’t really do anything new.

Steve ==================== On Sun, May 12, 2013 at 3:23 PM, Mike Tintner <[email protected]> wrote: My first thoughts are that the Tintner Machine (or TM2) is basically a *dice* machine (/computer/robot) – with the dice deciding which option to take, when confronted with multiple, equally attractive but uncertain options. But note that it will be a sophisticated multiple dice machine – because yes, Steve, I realise you can have a dice algorithm. The new TM will roll at least two and possibly many dice. A second dice will decide whether to accept the decision of the first dice OR to throw the first dice again OR to try and find/create a new dice with more, new options, via more thought/research/experiment. So the process has the potential to go on forever. (Note that this accords with what we visibly do in some decisions - “Heads I call her, tails I don.t” Tails. “OK let’s make that two out of three throws...” Two tails. “Ok let’s go for three out of five OR maybe I look for another way of deciding (and dealing with the problem) altogether”) AGI | Archives | Modify Your Subscription -- Full employment can be had with the stoke of a pen.
