Yeah I'm not really agreeing with you here. I feel that, though I haven't really studied other cognitive software structures, but I feel that they can built simpler and more efficient. But I shouldn't come out saying that unless I attack some of the details right? But that's a gut reaction I have after working on so many large software projects. And it does depend on the view of cognition. Some of cognition is just hype it depends on what you are trying to build. There are a lot of warm-fuzzies, Dr. Feelgood things going on with "cognition". I like cognition as a machine, a systematic controlled complexity modeler, edge of chaos surfing, crystallographic, polytopical harmonic, probabilistic sort of morphism and structure pump, with SOM injection - yeah I want a machine that rips through the fabric of reality mesh.
John From: Benjamin Goertzel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Well the problem is that branches of algebra like universal algebra and category theory, that don't assume highly particular algebraic rules, don't really have any deep theorems that tell you anything... Whereas the branches of algebra that really give you deep information, all pertain to highly specialized structures that are very unlikely to be relevant to cognition... ----- 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=56339571-d001db
