Saying that you don't trade time for memory in models or any computer program just shows a lack of real world experience on the part of Matt IMHO. David Clark
Of course CS is full of time/memory tradeoffs, but I think Matt's point was that a finite-state machine just can't completely simulate itself internally for basic algorithmic-information-theory reasons. However, it can **approximately** simulate itself, which is the important thing and is what we all do every day -- via the approximate simulations of ourselves that we call our selves... -- Ben G ----- 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/?member_id=231415&user_secret=fabd7936
