> What you call "a dirty hack", patterns deeply implemented in their brains. The dirty hack I'm referring to is the robotic way this is implemented in programs, not how it's done in humans. With a pattern based program you essentially specify everything and the program is not a participant in the process. It comes down to a list of do's and dont's and if we can claim that knowledge was imparted it might be true, but no wisdom or understanding was. UCT simulates understanding and wisdom, patterns just simulates knowledge. Again, this is largely philosophical because even UCT programs are robots just following instructions. It's all about what you are trying to simulate and why it's called AI. I think UCT tries to simulate understanding to a much greater extent than raw patterns in a conventional program. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
