On second thought, maybe the term "low-level input" was confusing. I include things like text-only terminal or 3D vector graphics input or Internet connection or whatever other kind of interaction with the world in this concept. Low-level is relative to a model in the mind, it is a point where non-mind environment directly interacts with the model, on which additional levels of representation are grown within the mind, making that transition point the lowest level. I didn't mean to imply that input needs to be something like a noisy video stream or sense of touch (although I suspect it'll be helpful developmentally). -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=111637683-c8fa51 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
