I think you are using the term "prediction" in a strange technical sense. I just mean forecasting. Any suggestion that you can't forecast outcomes faster than the system itself produces those outcomes is bunk - we have large forecasting industries that prove that. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [email protected] Remove lock to reply. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
