Well the definition of problems and the approaches to solving the problems can be narrow-minded or looked at with a narrow-human-psychological AI perspective. Most of these problems boil down to engineering problems and the theory already exists in some other form; it is a matter of putting things together IMO. But myself not being in the "cog sci" world for that long, only thinking of AGI in terms of computers, math and AI, I am unaware of the details of some of the particular AGI unsolved mysteries that are talked about. Not to say I haven't thought about them from my own narrow-human-psychological AI perspective :) John ----- 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=71519373-6b5212
