An issue with Hopfield content-addressable memories is that their
memory capability gets worse and worse as the networks get sparser and
sparser. I did some experiments on this in 1997, though I never
bothered to publish the results
My approach,
admittedly unusual, is to assume I have all the processing power and memory I
need, up to a generous estimate of what the brain provides (a petawords and
100 petaMACs), and then see if I can come up with operations that do what it
does. If not it, would be silly to try and do the

I think that Matt and Josh are both misunderstanding what I said in
the same way. Really, you're both attacking the use of logic on the
predicates, not the predicates themselves as a representation, and so
ignoring the distinction I was trying to create. I am not saying that

Oops, Matt actually is making a different objection than Josh.
Now it seems to me that you need to understand sentences before you can
translate them into FOL, not the other way around. Before you can translate to
FOL you have to parse the sentence, and before you can parse it you have to

It is true that much modern encryption is based on simple algorithms.
However, some crypto-experts would advise more primitive approaches.
RSA is not known to be hard, even if P!=NP, someone may find a

First order logic (FOL) is good for expressing simple facts like all birds
have wings or no bird has hair, but not for statements like most birds can
fly. To do that you have to at least extend it with fuzzy logic (probability
and confidence).
A second problem is, how do you ground the terms?
