Interesting, Youlian... He's writing about creating a formal or graphical "map" of the contents of a human mind... not thru technology but thru some kind of explicit knowledge encoding.
I think Rudy Rucker proposed a similar thing toward the end of his long-ago book Mind Tools, actually. I suppose this could be achieved partially by: 1) Using a formal knowledge entry language like Cyc [or the related KNOW language introduced at Webmind Inc., www.goertzel.org/papers/KNOWSpecification.htm , developed mostly by Pei Wang] 2) Unlike in the Cyc project, having people enter a lot of subjective beliefs and ideas about their individual lives and experiences, as well as "common sense" The big problem of course is that most knowledge in the human mind is *implicit*. We don't know we that know all that we know.... (although some of us do know that we don't know all that we know ;). But it would be interesting to see how far this sort of mind-mapping could be pushed, even so... -- Ben > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-agi@;v2.listbox.com]On > Behalf Of Youlian Troyanov > Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 7:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [agi] FW: Finite or Infinite Mind?: A Proposal for an > Integrative Mental Mapping Project > > > http://www.biol.tsukuba.ac.jp/~macer/mentmap.htm > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
