"No interest" isn't accurate. I'm certainly interested in what people have to say on the problem. The reason I didn't comment is because I don't have a solution - that is, I know how to write software that can draw certain kinds of analogies in certain contexts, but I don't know how to write software that can do it anywhere near as generally as humans can. But if other people have ideas on how to do so, I'm all ears! ----- 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=66414285-306cc8
