I'm going to attack you by questions again :-) What are 'range' and 'complexity'? Is there a specific architecture of 'levels'? Why should higher-level concepts be multidimensional? What is the dynamics of system's operation in time? Is inference feed-forward and 'instantaneous', measuring by external clock? Can capture time series? By 'what prediction is for?' I mean connection to action. How does prediction of inputs or features of inputs translate into action? If this prediction activity doesn't lead to any result, it may as well be absent. -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=98558129-0bdb63 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
