I'm not convinced that it is yet possible to make categorical assertions of this kind. It could well turn out that spatial representations derived from visual processing are essential to some kinds of thought and analogy, without which an AGI would be cognitively impaired. I know it's claimed that many mathematicians are supposed to possess enhanced spatial reasoning ability. Brains fundamentally evolved to move creatures around - an internal guidance mechanism - and there's a close relationship between movement and perception. Whether this will need to also be the case for an AGI I don't know. ----- 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=70679961-339be6
