There has been some talk here lately of Tononi's integrated information theory. I only know the summary generalities, but it is a (I think) holistic approach with mathematics holding it up. In the wiki, at least, they are not talking about having a bunch of stand alone "independent concepts." ------------------------------------------- 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
