Hi Alberto, Don't forget that mirror neurons in our brains tends to make us copy cats.

Where did I would devote myself to eveluating what's true. Where did I say anything about solipism. You asked how to program a robot to evaluate what's true in interaction with other self-interested robots, and I gave an outline of it. Are you now changing the problem, saying that I cannot program my robot to learn from its interactions - that it must have a fixed evaluation critereon from the very beginning?

The other robots will not collaborate with a robot that spend so much time and is unreliable for collaboration. other robots will break the robot apart while it is evaluating the certainty of the first truth.. Your truths must be operational from the first moment in order to create plans for coordination with other robots. You as programmer know that your robot will be involved in circles, some of them very intimate What does 'intimate' mean in this context? others not so intimate. The game to play is survival, not accuracy. You wrote, "If true it is hold in the list of true statements. If not, it is rejected. The true statements will be used for the elaboration of social behaviours intended to obtain pieces and to maintain the group of collaborators, the fabrication, ownership, and maybe robbery of new pieces for the future." I assumed that you meant "If it is assessed as true it is held..." Surely you didn't mean the the true was known with certainty - by magic? Then your implication is that these true statements with be used to enhance survival. But of course knowing true things is not the same as saying true things to enhance your survival. Knowing what's true can help you lie effectively too. But it is still advantageous in general to know what is true in order to predict the outcome of contemplated actions.

I mean a robot that live with other robots that collaborate to solve problems. These robots must repair themselves, with pieces that are located in the field. these pieces are scarce or they are not for free, and some groups of robots want your own pieces for them, so finally the robots arrange themselves in groups of collaborators that try to fabricate pieces and protect them from the attacks of other groups. Things become more complicated, since, for better defense and/or fabrication and/or attack the groups become bigger, and some subgroups are formed iinside, in order to have privileged access to valuable pieces in detriment of the other members of the big group. At a point in the programing, you have to deal with comunication of each robot with the fellow robots. As a result of this comunication, you must evaluate if what is communicated to you is true of false. If true it is hold in the list of true statements. If not, it is rejected. The true statements will be used for the elaboration of social behaviours intended to obtain pieces and to maintain the group of collaborators, the fabrication, ownership, and maybe robbery of new pieces for the future. Or else, the group will die, the robot will die and its lists of truths too. Since you know that finally the social robots will end in arrangements of collaborators in the way I described above, T How would you design the evaluator iof true and false statements.? An interesting and complex problem. You wouldn't just evaluate some as 'true' and discard the others. You'd keep all (or at least many) of them and assign them degrees of credence according to criterea like: Who said it? Has he been truthful before? Who would belief in the statement help or hurt? How does it comport with other statements? Can I check any part of it independently?... Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
