Thanks Ben for leaving a placeholder for Fluid Construction Grammar. I've
copied over the Wikipedia article for which I wrote most of the content.
Cheers.

Hey Ben, I really appreciate this idea. I recently became very interested
in the Singularity, AI, etc. I very much enjoy the discussions that go on
in these threads, but rarely know what is going on. I'm really hoping to
learn everything there is to know from the ground up.

Well my answer was a common PC, which I hope is more illuminating

But human being works, as does any future AI design, as far a

Fair enough, Richard...
Again I'll emphasize that the idea of the "Instead of an AGI Textbook"
is not to teach any particular theory or design for AGI, but rather to convey
background knowledge that is useful for folks who wish to come to grips
with contemporary AGI theories and designs

A propos of the several branches of discussion about AGI textbooks on

Knowing what I do about the structure and content of the book I am
writing, I cannot imagine it being merged as just a set of branch points
from other works, like the one growing from Ben's TOC.

Ben,
I just created an account on the wiki and created my user page derived from my
Wikipedia user page. Image uploads on the wiki work the same way as on

Thanks Mark ... let's see how it evolves...
I think the problem is not finding a publisher, but rather, finding
the time to contribute and refine the content
Maybe in a year or two there will be enough good content there that
someone with appropriate time and inclination and skill can shape it

I have a publisher who would love to publish the result of the wiki as a

Well ... I can take a shot at putting a diagram together. Making Mind Maps
is one way I learn any kind of material I want.
If the topics in the list(s) are descriptive enough, I can take a shot at
putting such a diagram together.
It'd be less work to correct it than to make one, right?
Hey - wha
Mentifex called; it wants its ASCII diagrams back.
