al process definition can't be rocking and rolling without being grounded. But the real question is: Would this have anything to do with AI and AGI? I think it must. I mean, if it can be defined then it probably will have some effect on AI and AGI. But I don't know for sure.

I wasn't going to spend much time on this but the problem may be more subtle than you seem to appreciate. The solution for one or two points on a curve contains less information than the equation of the curve. And that made me realize that a curve or even a straight line has an infinite number

I have not been able to come up with a way to overcome p!=np in logic, so I am thinking about developing a heavily typed logic (logic-like references) as a way to get around the bottleneck of exponential complexity. However, I have run into some difficulties there as well. I would like an object

Being able to solve a quadratic equation with a linear solution is a kind of compression and it is a compressed operation (on the data) which is also important. I have not be able to show that it is a general solution (for parabolas that have been rotated for example) but I think that it might

A 'free lunch' is possible because human beings do not know everything. That means that new efficiencies can be discovered.  Even though you may discuss a frame work as if it were the only basis to achieve a goal the argument does not prove the premise that the particular frame work you have in
