I guess I don't really understand your formalism, i.e.
-- how you define a "world-state" ... do you mean a set of elementary world-states described by some logical predicate? -- how do you define the size of a world-state ... would it be the complexity of that predicate? thx ben On 4/27/07, Mark Waser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't believe so because "complex" world states are by definition larger since they have more variables to vary (and thus more points/states/variables). It is true that one "complex" world-state is equivalent to multiple "simple" world states, but this is just the behavior that I desire/expect for my definition. If you're sure that I'm wrong, please provide an example . . . . ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Benjamin Goertzel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *To:* agi@v2.listbox.com *Sent:* Friday, April 27, 2007 12:50 PM *Subject:* Re: [agi] Circular definitions of intelligence On 4/27/07, Mark Waser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> On 4/26/07, Richard Loosemore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> Can you point to an objective definition that is clear about which > >>> things are more intelligent than others, and which does not > accidentally > >>> include things that manifestly conflict with the commonsense > definition > >>> (by false negatives or false positives)? > > Wow.

I don't like this so much, because two sets of world-states with equal measure (size) may have very different complexity... ben g ------------------------------ 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/?&; ------------------------------ 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/?&;
