For the reason I explained earlier. Suppose program A generates candidate programs B1, B2... that are conjectured to be more efficient at processing evidence. It can't just compare their processing of evidence with the correct version, because if it knew the correct results in all cases, it would already be that efficient itself. It has to try them out. ------------------------------------------- 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=106510220-47b225 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
