Hi Bob,
It's not a virus that you can't get rid of. It will only recreate itself if you
delete it while it's running. If you delete it while it's not running, it's
gone. And even
be able to get rid of!!...

Hi
Maybe you should execute it again, in the end, with eval or something ?
Its temporary inexistance would be something more like a sleep, and
the end of your program its awakening.
Its death would not be the end of program anymore, but rather an
external signal (kill) or the consequence of an
Is it worth adding a simple neural net so the program can draw its own
conclusions? :-)
But see, that's where things begin to get really hairy. Would such
conclusions really be the program's conclusions? Wouldn't it be more
accurate to say that they were my conclusions? I've got some

We do not create the structure of our own brains, we receive their
design via evolution (or from God, but either way we don't make them
ourselves). But we eventually take credit for using them.
The structure of a neural net isn't determined by the program itself
either. *Legally* the
Just a quick thought:
how about a client/server model? so there could be several components
communicating with each other?

Or peer-to-peer, for a more equal society. ;-)

Actually, I see that as a later step. The program will eventually want
to explore outer space and that's where networking can come into the
ps. Just out of curiosity. Has anyone actually tried running exist.pl on
their own computer? It should run on any Mac OS X or Linux computer (or
any *nix variation). I'd be interested in hearing what people think.
For those unfamiliar with Perl scripts, simply copy and paste the code
into a
I was not so much thinking in terms of networks involving other
computers, more splitting the parts of the program up (or potential
parts) so they can comunicate with each other and respawn dead

OK, don't be disappointed when you do run it. Keep in mind that it's an
introspective exercise on the part of the software.

Pall,
What's happens when you run exist.pl?
I don't know anything about programming, but the recent exchange of ideas
around your code has been the highlight for me since joining the list. Best has
been the palpable shared sense of excitement in exploring a perceived 'state of
being' and
