It seems that in the AGI arena much emphasis is put on designing goal systems. But in nature behavior is not always driven explicitly by goals. A lot of behavior I suspect is just drift, and understanding this requires you to examine the dynamics of the system. For example if I'm talking on the phone and doodling with a pen this doesn't necessarily imply that I explicitly have instantiated a goal of "draw doodle". Likewise within populations changes in the gene pool do not necessarily mean that explicit selection forces are at work. My supposition is that the same dynamics seen in natural systems will also apply to AGIs, since these are all examples of complex dynamical systems. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=95818715-a78a9b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
