I have to say that I am proud of David Jone's efforts. He has really matured during these last few months. I'm kidding but I really do respect the fact that he is actively experimenting. I want to get back to work on my artificial imagination and image analysis programs - if I can ever figure out how to get the time.
As I have read David's comments, I realize that we need to really leverage all sorts of cruddy data in order to make good agi. But since that kind of thing doesn't work with sparse knowledge, it seems that the only way it could work is with extensive knowledge about a wide range of situations, like the knowledge gained from a vast variety of experiences. This conjecture makes some sense because if wide ranging knowledge could be kept in superficial stores where it could be accessed quickly and economically, it could be used efficiently in (conceptual) model fitting. However, as knowledge becomes too extensive it might become too unwieldy to find what is needed for a particular situation. At this point indexing becomes necessary with cross-indexing references to different knowledge based on similarities and commonalities of employment. Here I am saying that relevant knowledge based on previous learning might not have to be totally relevant to a situation as long as it could be used to run during an ongoing situation. From this perspective then, knowledge from a wide variety of experiences should actually be composed of reactions on different conceptual levels. Then as a piece of knowledge is brought into play for an ongoing situation, those levels that seem best suited to deal with the situation could be promoted quickly as the situation unfolds, acting like an automated indexing system into other knowledge relevant to the situation. So the ongoing process of trying to determine what is going on and what actions should be made would simultaneously act like an automated index to find better knowledge more suited for the situation.
