Nothing we ever do is by ourselves, entirely, we have a wealth of examples to draw from that we have acquired from family/friends and teachers. The situation I described was like throwing a baby into a completely unfamiliar problem, without the wealth of experience we have built up over the years, so some hand holding is to be expected. Also I'm not planning to have a full AI made any time soon, I'm merely laying the ground work, for many other people to work upon. I may get animal level adaptivity/intelligence myself, it depends how quickly I can build the first layer and the tools I need for the next. This is also why I concentrate on the most flexible system possible, I do not wish to constrain the system to do any more than needs be done to achieve my current goal. This goal is to add a way of selecting between the programs within a computer system dependent upon what the system needs to do. It is more fundamental than your cross-over idea, in that it is a lower level phenomenon, but not in the sense it is more important for acting intelligently. > IOW you simply avoided the problem and thought only of cheating.

I'm not building the solution, merely a framework which I think will enable people to build the solution. I think this needs to be done first, in essence I am trying to deal with the "develop and acquire skills" problem.
