Philip,
What would help me
to understand this idea would be to understand in more detail what kinds of
rules you want to hardwire.
Do you want to
hardwire, for instance, a rule like "Don't kill
people."
And then give it
rough rule-based definitions of "don't", "kill" and "people", and count on
learning to augment/replace these
definitions?
Or do you want to
hardwire rules at a finer-grained
level?

And maybe by pursuing both routes simulaneously you might generate more goodwill that might increase the resourcing levels a bit further down the track.***Well, the bottom line is that the hard-wiring approach doesn't make that much intuitive sense to me. But I could be wrong, I've been wrong plenty of times before.We're going to have the Novamente book published before we have a super-smart Novamente ready. So, hopefully someone will read the book and formulate a good approach to hard-wiring ethical rules, in detail.... If it makes enough sense I'll be convinced that it's the way to do things.... I'm not closed-minded about it, i just don't see why it's a good idea yet, and I don't have enough intuition for your idea to design something in detail based on it myself...-- Ben+
