Attempt to define General Intelligence A general intelligent system is an eco-system of memeplexes aimed at:
This is very close to my view of an intelligent system. Although mine would be something like My current best guess for what a general intelligent systems is: An eco-system of programs* that compete for shared resources and also cooperate to solve problems, guided by a single fitness function which gives out a distributable resource that enables those programs with it to gain the selectionist edge, if they use it. This system is initiated with programs that have reasonable mechanisms to get information about novel programs useful for its goal as quickly as possible, from the inputs it has (generally these programs also assume other intelligent entities in the world). I will try and reply more in depth to the rest of your post. But hopefully that will give you some food for thought. Will Pearson * These programs are more like programs in a von Neumann architecture or core wars than say the programs in a Genetic Programming system, in that they can overwrite others bits of code/memory. They also serve as their own source of variability, but generally acquire information from external sources rather than using random mutation. ----- 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
