Mark, I think the point is that there should be a simple model that produces the same capabilities as a neuron (or brain). Most of these biological particulars are important for biological brain, but it should be possible to engineer them away on computational substrate when we have a high-level model of what they are actually for. -- 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=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
