Sensors and actuators that allow one to perceive and manipulate the world *do not have to be chemical in nature*. Again, nothing stops us, except perhaps lack of the appropriate technology, to make sensors and actuators that would allow a machine to experience the real world. I don't know why you seem to be so fixated on the idea that there is something somehow fundamental with the chemical nature of life. What I can see, and what Dr. Brooks' experiments in behavior-based robotics seem to bear out, is that intelligence, either animal or human, is an emergent property deriving from the way our brains are wired and how they interact with the real world. There's no reason why, again except for the fact that we don't yet have the technology, to create an artificial brain that is wired to sensors and actuators in a way very nearly similar to that of a person, and we'd have no reason to expect that it wouldn't act just the way a person would. > but the machine intelligence is only limited to what is given to it.... So is human intelligence, I think. The only difference is that human intelligence is being given much, much more than machine intelligence must deal with. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
