Certainly. I don't consider it as a mistake and an argument. I reference automata as a utilitarian handle on establishing and established protocol for the computational communication purposes of forming and connecting AI structures in code. Protocols form and change as do the entities that do the communication. What minimalist mathematical structure could be used to describe communication endpoints between some of the more interesting dynamical systems from an informational physics perspective? I've been looking for those... and am curious to see if those reduce to automata. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T9e51fc70bbc4e9fc-M831b5a3ab6d96670f33c3b09 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
