I think that morality (aka Friendliness) is directly on-topic for *any* AGI initiative; however, it's actually even more apropos for the approach that I'm taking. >> As I have begun to re-attach myself to the issues of "AGI" I have become >> suspicious of the ability or wisdom of attaching important semantics to >> atomic tokens (as I suspect you are going to attempt to do, along with most >> approaches), but I'd dearly like to contribute to something I thought had a >> chance. Atomic tokens are quick and easy labels for what can be very convoluted and difficult concepts which normally end up varying in their details from person to person. We cannot communicate efficiently and effectively without such labels but unless all parties have the exact same concept (to the smallest details) attached to the same label, we are miscommunicating to the exact degree that our concepts in all their glory aren't congruent. A very important part of what I'm proposing is attempting to deal with the fact that no two humans agree *exactly* on the meaning of any but the simplest labels. Does that allay your fears somewhat? ----- 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=e9e40a7e
