Any representation which offers reification (i.e., hypostatization) would address your complexity concerns. ~PM

Furthermore, I am arguing that natural languages are composite data languages as well.I believe that an AGI program needs to be able to refer to the 'objects' of a 'situation' using combinations of referential 'data objects'. Once these data objects are defined, the AGI program has to be able to generate new ways of referring to various composites of the subject matter in order to create simpler references for future use. So then a composite data referent can be developed to refer to a combination of aspects of a 'situation' when it is effective to do so. I believe that this system is absolutely necessary for AGI because the fundamental problem that faces us right now is one of AGI complexity. By being able to create composite referents we might be able to significantly reduce the complexity problem. What I am saying here is that by carefully considering this point of view, I believe that some AGI programmers might be able to enhance their programming.A composite reference language has to be decomposed efficiently. Neural Networks, for example, lack that ability and I believe that is part of the reason why they failed to live up to their early promise and hype. The AGI program should typically be able to find some way to discover and look at the parts of a composite reference when it seems efficacious to do so. However, some composite references won't be easily decomposed. The parts of a reference (the real world object being referred to, for example,) might be very difficult to discover. But most of the referents should be partially decomposable.The fact that a referent is easily decomposable does not mean that a referent is easily composed from the parts. If you know what the composite reference is supposed to mean, you can discover or decompose the parts from which it was composed by keeping the original reference in mind. However, when you begin drawing references (like 'words') together to form a new composite reference, the 'words' that you will be using will be taken from other previously existing composite references. There is bound to be some confusion in this process but those issues can be reduced with experience. But even if the composite references are easily decomposable, good compositions are more difficult.If my theory is right I should be able to create a good AGI demo within 2 years.Jim Bromer AGI | Archives | Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- 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
