Shane, If two computational models can solve radically different problems *under realistic space and time constraints*, then are they "fundamentally different" or not?? You seem to want call two models "fundamentally the same" if they can solve the same problems under infinite time and space constraints. I am doubting whether the "infinite constraints" view is really the fundamental one!!! To me, the question of what a computational model can do with moderately small space and time resource constraints is at least equally "fundamental" ... -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
