Yes, I think that in future there will be nice mathematical equations for the structure and dynamics of intelligence systems... These will not solve all problems about intelligence immediately, of course, just as knowing the Navier-Stokes equation doesn't make the whole of fluid dynamics trivial ... it just gives a solid basis for fluid dynamics work... However, just as the Wright Brothers built a plane without a good aerodynamic theory, it may also be possible to build an AGI prior to the existence of a solid mathematical theory of AGI... I don't think it's useful to describe, say, the math of computer algorithms as "zero dimensional." It's simply math about structures for which dimensionality is not a relevant concept.... -- Ben ------------------------------------------- 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
