I'll go out on a limb and conjecture that an AI can be fully described in less than a megabyte of the appropriate formalism. (Allow 10 MB if you want to implement the formalism in existing low-level languages.)
Some numbers that we know without a doubt have bearing on an upper bound. Genome: 3 billion base pairs. 2 bits/pair, 750MB (somehow the human genome project quotes 1byte / basepair, which is clearly wrong) Protein coding sequences are approximately 1.5% of that, or 11.25MB. The question is, how much of that goes into the structure of the brain? Hmm...was the 1MB just a blue sky guess, or did you follow a similar chain of reasoning? ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
