It seems entirely reasonable to merge a Hayek like architecture with
scaffolds and hand-coded chunks and other stuff (maybe whatever is in
Novamente) to get it a head
start.
This does seem reasonable in principle, and is something worth exploring.
We use some economic ideas in the Novamente design, but those aspects of
the design
have not been implemented yet except in crude prototype form; and in the
current version
of the design they are more simplistic than (and much faster than) the
sort of stuff in
Hayek...
An advantage of having the economic system then is to impose
coherence and constrainedness-- parts that don't in fact work
effectively with others will be seen to be dying, forcing you to fix
the problems. Without the economic discipline, you are likely to have
subsystems (and sub-subsystems) you think are positive but are failing
in some way through interaction effects.
True. However, to get the economic system to work effectively enough to
identify problems
in a general and accurate way, requires significant computational
resources to be devoted to
the economics aspect. So the system as a whole must make a tradeoff
between more accurate
economic regulation, and having more processor time for things other
than economic
regulation...
