Is this because we use a knowledgebase of classes for things like "airplane" that can be used to fill in the details that are lost during compression? Can that KB be seeded, or must it be experientially evolved from a more primitive precept? Consider how little useful skill a human baby has compared to other animals. Perhaps thats the trade-off for a high potential general intelligence, there must be a lot of faltering and (semi-) useless motion while learning the basics. ----- 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=8660244&id_secret=49489831-5af343
