I'm assuming it's a useful way for any perceiver to divide up the world, especially if it has to interact with that world. Given that what really exists are quantum fields, or whatever, our internal model of the world is presumably the most useful one evolution could come up with. It seems likely AIs would have to either develop or be pre-programmed with something simliar in order to interact with the world. > Consider the case were the Google "thing" discovered cats from > processing YouTube data.

I think Clarke had the right idea when he said that HAL had to be taught about the world. I suspect that children don't come with a huge amount of built in knowledge either. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
