Eric,
I have not received Les Valiant's book yet but I have now read the
papers on his site, and it seems to me that none of them addresses the
questions I asked ;-)
It was a pretty vague question. What do you mean, "abstract knowledge"?
And how does it differ from non-abstract knowledge? What does a
sequence of ones and zeroes need to do in order to count as abstract
knowledge, and how does it differ from a sequence of ones and zeroes
that you would only classify as plain old ordinary knowledge? What can
a system with abstract knowledge in it do that other systems can't?
