If there's any confusion, think about many women and dieting. They will be confronted by much the same decisions about whether to eat or not to eat on possibly thousands of occasions throughout their lives. And over and over, throughout their entire lives, they will - freely - decide now this way, now that. Yo-yoing on and off their diets. Your system, as I understand it, would never do that - would never act in such crazy, mixed up, contradictory ways. Humans do, because they are, truly, free - and, I contend, non-deterministically programmed - and, repeat, this is, paradoxically, good design..
Mike, I don't want to be insulting, but you seem incredibly confused about some basic concepts. Either that or you are redefining basic words in such odd ways that communicating with you usefully is next to impossible! There is no reason at all why a deterministic system couldn't yo-yo on and off a diet. I don't understand why you would think so. There is nothing stopping deterministic systems from being confused, idiotic, self-contradictory, etc. Really. Not unless you are adopting a very very strange and nonstandard definition of "deterministic." I think I am going to stop responding to your messages, personally, because we simply are not communicating in a useful way. -- 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/?member_id=231415&user_secret=fabd7936
