should GoL gliders be considered cyclic? I personally think the candidate-AGI that finds a glider to be similar to a local state of cells from N iterations earlier to be particularly astute. (assuming this observation is learned rather than hard-coded by the developer) Human 'players' of GoL will stop a run after reaching a stable cycle because it is no longer interesting. The collection of cells comprising a glider stops being interesting when we predict that it will never 'hit' anything. Some of the seeds that ship with popular GoL implementations are absolutely amazing. I'm sure after I understand their nature the novelty will wear off. :) I've been thinking about GoL, pattern recognition, vision, concept representation. If have some ideas that I'd like to experiment with, but I'm not really sure yet how to express them let alone implement a test. ----- 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=8660244&id_secret=50122339-b77f2c
