This might not be the case, or to put it another way the term "body" could have a more general meaning. Imagine some disembodied AGI living on the internet. It could have various subprograms or protocols within its realm of influence, which could be described as its "body", and it may be continually trying to model and predict the behavior of those subsystems. Just like with a physical body this would allow the AGI to identify damage to itself, or by extension comparable changes occurring to other programs similar to but not part of itself. ----- 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=92319794-c38785
