Would be interested to see any efforts to experimentally duplicate emotion with numerical operations, tho.ungtsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408476168472971648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512915428816904038.post-90094945236964650172008-05-07T20:12:00.000-07:002008-05-07T20:12:00.000-07:00I'm afraid I'm being purposefully vague, because I...I'm afraid I'm being purposefully vague, because I don't have the slightest idea what the actual properties are, but I will try to explain. Any algorithm that you design to perform addition ultimately performs the same transformation to the data in the end regardless of all other considerations, since it is defined as addition on the basis of the way it transforms data. It is possible, and according to my intuition likely, that there would be some set of fundamental data operations which were necessary and sufficient for intelligence. If, for example, addition falls into this category, and I have no idea if it does, then we could say things which are incapable of addition cannot be intelligent.Matt Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728011245463463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512915428816904038.post-44764165951529219422008-05-07T17:39:00.000-07:002008-05-07T17:39:00.000-07:00Interesting thought ... can you help me understand...Interesting thought ... can you help me understand better? What do you mean by "mathematical property?" Do you mean that in the sense of 'it performs calculations?' or 'it can be mathematically derived?' or something else?ungtsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408476168472971648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512915428816904038.post-7889426856795805752008-05-07T06:18:00.000-07:002008-05-07T06:18:00.000-07:00An original observation, and a debate that I have ...An original observation, and a debate that I have run into many times. I think what needs to be realized is that intelegence might be an abstract mathmatical property that the weather and most organisms do not possess, but we and any other intelegent organisms do. In much the same way as intelegent aliens would arive at the same science as us, they would have simmilar kinds of minds, because minds are simply what works.Matt Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728011245463463072noreply@blogger.com
