Ben, According to the known laws of physics, analog computers cannot compute anything different than what digital computers can... if by "compute" you mean "produce results observable by finite-precision instruments like human eyes and ears"
Ben, There is one other question here. Don't digital computers always add another layer? A line, say, always has to be translated into something else, like geometric formulae, in order for a digital computer to handle it, no? All information has to be coded and decoded, no? I, as you/ve probably gathered, want a machine that can handle the line as a line, directly. A map as a map.No code. There is nothing comparable to the brain's maps in the physical layout of current computers, is there? Could there be? (Neural networks aren't quite the same, are they)? ------------------------------------------- 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=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
