It seems like adaptation in the context of a game of Go just making the best response to the opponent's move, however unexpected. So, if there were such a thing as a perfect Go player, it would have no need to learn, but it would be perfectly adaptive, in this context. Of course, one could also

Hi Erik, Erik van der Werf: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IMO the adaptation is just a means to an end. The end (Intelligence, whatever it is) does not necessarily require adaptation. I used to think learning is required for intelligence but recently I'd like to propose some creativity is. Hideki (gg) --
