I think that in an environment in which the system has decent sensors and actuators, no pre-specified rules of thumb will be needed (though some perceptual preprocessing routines will be needed, just as the human visual and acoustic cortex supply ...). Pre-specified rules are useful for domains where the system's ability to perceive and act are more limited. > I'd > be inclined > to move on to a molecular biology world a little later in > Novababy's life! Well, we're already applying the incomplete AI system to molecular biology in more limited, narrow-AI-ish ways, that was my point... ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
