Well, obviously, it's up to you what you want to discuss - but I don't think that what I'm asking for - the basic elements of the AGI's "sign system" - requires a lengthy paper. Jeff Hawkins' site has a page devoted to showing how his system derives its templates of dog - that gives you an idea of what he is doing, without in any way revealing or dealing with the programming nitty-gritty.
>From the little I can gather, there seems to be a certain degree of >parallelism between your and his efforts - a movement towards hierarchical >representations. And presumably that movement will keep building. P.S. My guess would be that airing the basic concepts of your system - in this case the basic "concepts of concepts!" - would actually be helpful - and aid rather than hinder their development. But good luck whatever. ----- Original Message ----- From: Benjamin Goertzel To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 4:44 PM Subject: Re: [agi] The University of Phoenix Test [was: Why do you think your AGI design will work?] Anyway, I'll wait with baited breath to hear your exposition of the fundamentals of your system - and what I personally would like to hear is not so much the details of your programming, but simply the different forms that "dog" , "move" "goal" take - e.g. word "d-o-g", icon of dog, movie of dog running, or whatever... and how one kind of representation can call up any other kind - and of course how you can COMBINE concepts. Will your system be able to form a composite movie of a dog and a cat running together from two separate movies, and how? All this and more, of course, the human brain can do. Well, describing all that is not a matter for a brief email or brief article for that matter ... now you are talking about the nitty-gritty of the NM AGI design which is a long story!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
