Actually all you need is a rich morphogenetic code which prewires your virtual cortex, and hardware general and powerful enough to run it in realtime, plus a virtual environment, and multiply this by a factor of 10^4..10^6 to contain a population. Let evolution discover the rest: which types of small-integer automata, which synapse types, connectivity pattern, its change over time. A fabric of FPGA/memory cores would be enough today -- unfortunately, it would require custom hardware, and thus be prohibitively expensive. > long tried to reconcile neural and symbolic processing.

You can't make AI on von Neumann (in the general sense) hardware. If you have 10^6 meshed cores it's no longer von-Neumann. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
