Ben,   I've done a cursory review of Unreal's capabilities and it really has all you need for your initial simulation world.  Violence is not a required part of the game :)  So you can setup a benign world with an Unreal controlled bot and your AI interacting with eachother and the world itself.  The interface routines give you alot of access...assuming you know C fairly well..   As you well know, I don't have time to set this up..but someone with good C skills could do something on short order..   --Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Goertzel To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 8:47 AM Subject: RE: [agi] Novamente project seeking volunteers   Mike,   I guess that�s true � although, initially, we�ll be seeking pretty primitive qualities of intelligence, and attempting to get the programs to climb up the proverbial ladder of brilliance and wisdom ;-)   Ben g   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of deering Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 2:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [agi] Novamente project seeking volunteers   Ben, your AGISIM project is analogous to western religious ideas of reality.   In western religious philosophy God creates people in his own image and places them in a physical world to interact with other people, animals, and HIS word.  The ones that demonstrate certain qualities get to go to heaven, i.e.. a metaphysical plane where GOD lives.   In you AGISIM project, you (GOD) create AGI programs roughly patterned after the only extant example of intelligence, people, and place them in a metaphysical world to interact with other AGI's, animal bots, and your goals.  The ones that demonstrate advanced qualities in intelligence may be graduated into the real world, where you and I live.       To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
