If all you aim for is a system that has unlimited potential, then a Universal Turing Machine is as far as you need to go, and as far as you can go. A more important goal to be build a system that can learn to do relevant things in reasonable time. > > Our world is a hierarchical world with encapsulated levels.

It's probably a good summary of what a system must be able to do to be deemed intelligent in the sense people are intelligent: to be able to simulate the environment on different levels of detail, focusing attention of different parts of the structure, moving the attention to more general levels or more detailed ones, to different parts of the structure or to the future and the past of its development. Starting from this basis, it should be possible to develop specialized subsystems that solve specific problems not amenable to such description. -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- 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=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
