Sure, I think the brain is more sensibly understood in a "programattical" sense than mathematical. I say programattical because it probably has 100 billion or so conditional statements, a difficult thing to represent mathematically. Even so, each conditional is going to have maths constructs in it. > The number meme is a bit of a hack on top of language that has been > modified throughout the years. > We have a peripheral that allows us decent support for the numbers > 1-10, but beyond that numbers are basically words to which several > different finicky grammars can be applied as far as our brains are > concerned. True, but numbers awesomeness lies it there power to represent relative differences between any concepts. With this power, numbers are a universal language, a language that can represent any other language, and hence, the ideal language and probably only real choice for an AGI. > agi | Archives | Modify Your > Subscription > ------------------------------------------- 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=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
