Just finished watching Norm's video, and one thing really struck me. The process of factoring numbers of the form 10^n+23 is generating vast amounts of complexity, as n increases. I hadn't really thought about things that way before, but I have to say this really constitutes a direct counter example to my oft stated dictum that evolutionary processes are the only way to generate complexity. Food for thought. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Senior Research Fellow [email protected] Economics, Kingston University http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
