Vlad,
At this point, we ought to acknowledge that we just have different approaches.
You're trying to hit a very small target accurately and precisely. I'm not.
It's not important to me the precise details of how a self-organizing system
would actually self-organize, what form that would take

Once again, I'm not saying that modeling an economy is all that's necessary to
explain intelligence. I'm not even saying it's a necessary condition of it.
What I am saying is that it looks very likely that the brain/mind is
self-organized, and for those of us looking to biological intelligence
I guess that intuitively, argument goes like this:
1) economy is more powerful than individual agents, it allows to
increase the power of intelligence in individual agents;
2) therefore, economy has an intelligence-increasing potency;
3) so, we can take stupid agents, apply the economy potion to th

Terren: I send this along because it's a great example of how systems that
self-organize can result in structures and dynamics that are more complex
and efficient than anything we can purposefully design. The applicability
to
the realm of designed intelligence is obvious.

Hi all,
Came across this article called "Pencils and Politics". Though a bit of a
tangent, it's the clearest explanation of self-organization in economics I've
encountered.

self-organize can
