Main superiority I can think of: It becomes easy to combine conditions like (example) "All points with one black piece above and one white piece to the left", arrive at a new bitmap from that, and logically combine that with more complex conditions. Randomly combining these might lead to faster ways for programs to learn to recognize patterns we pick up by natural visual examination. (I incidentally made an error in describing this; bits 1-19, 21-39, and 41-59 were a more natural choice than 0-18 etc.) Forrest Curo ----------------------------------------- This email was sent using AIS WebMail. http://www.americanis.net/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
