Co operation is impossible because people have different ideas about how it should be done and as problems are noticed (management for example), the tasks that need to be done become diversified in a non-focused way. So we are now talking about managing people. I could turn this back to the essence of what we were talking about before by mentioning the programmed management that would be needed for a complicated AGI program. I think relatively simple guidelines about abstractions could be easily automated. So if my theory about abstraction is valid, then they could lead to some simple programming design that would incorporate them. But the problem is that the design I have in mind would not (for example) run as a neural network. Continuing with refocusing your ideas about management back onto a discussion about programming AGI (as if you were subconsciously talking about programming rather than managing programmers) I would point out that most AGI paradigms do not produce results that can be efficiently used by competing paradigms. So there would be a serious management issue there. For example a neural network cannot be examined (by the program) in order (for the program) to determine what abstractions it had used to come to a conclusion. A weighted graph (a probability network) should be better at this but here the problem is that the stages of the process have to be saved in order for an advancement like this to work. The efficiency the method would then be lost because it would become memory exhaustive. If a system incorporated (more) discrete abstractions a trace of a decision process could be made based on the abstracting principles that were discovered to be useful to examine the process. (This is a function of meta-analysis or meta-awareness.)
Management of people is largely based on a predetermination that some focused goals are reasonable. Even if creativity is emphasized, the push is to creatively solve the narrow tasks that you are assigned. As the workers are given more autonomy to reach for a relatively more general goal, the coordination of the methodologies and goals will be lost. ------------------------------------------- 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
