Tell me: what are the algorithms that will force you to process this image in an inevitable way (and what is that way?):

(Oh - and a, linas, Bob, Mark, et al - can we agree that there is no way for maths to process that image, period?)

No. I strongly disagree with your assertion. What you believe you are processing (w)holistically can easily be broken down into a series of parts with scaling, translation, transposition, and other standard operators.

What a rorschach epitomises is the human ability to see just about anything in anything (and you can't get much more general than that) - a solar system in an atom, a hard, metal computer in a grey, gooey brain, or a penis in a rocket and the odd, million other items ...

Again, just all parts processed with normal visual operators.

Imagination. That's what's at the heart of adaptivity and general intelligence - and that's what AGI totally - and systemically - lacks.

I agree -- but vision is *NOT* the source and not required. You are merely faked out by the fact that it is the primary sense of human beings.

Face it. Your arguments are *not* compelling. You seem to believe that whining the same thing over and over again like a petulant child is going to change minds. Trust me, unless you come up with a logical reason, more and more people are just going to stop listening to you.
