I suspect that Kevin may have meant EPR = Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment, the classic thought experiment illustrating Bell's Inequality in quantum physics. (And related to the Aspect experiment, which was actually carried out.) But I agree, let's try to keep the discussion oriented towards AGI, so as not to bore list members who don't care about quantum philosophy ;-) (Since Penrose and others think that quantum philosophy is relevant to AI, it's not a totally irrelevant topic. Even though I personally think Penrose is dead wrong. I think a quantum AI would be cool, but I think a non-quantum AI is also quite possible.) -- Ben G ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
