I have produced a mathematical model for recursive self improvement and would appreciate any comments before I publish this.
http://www.mattmahoney.net/rsi.pdf In the paper, I try to give a sensible yet precise definition of what it means for a program to have a goal. Then I describe infinite sequences of programs that improve with respect to reaching a goal within fixed time bounds, and finally I give an example (in C) of a program that outputs the next program in this sequence. Although it is my long sought goal to prove or disprove RSI, it doesn't entirely resolve the question because the rate of knowledge gain is O(log n) and I prove that is the best you can do given fixed goals. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- 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=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
