Identity can be distributed in space. My conscious model of myself is not located at a single point in space. I identify myself with my body. I do not even have to know that I have a brain. But my body is distributed in space. It is not a point. This is also the case with my conscious model of myself (= model of my body). Furthermore if you think more from a computer scientist point of view: Even your brain is distributed in space and is not at a single place. Your brain consists of a huge amount of processors where each processor is at a different place. So I see no new problem with distributed AGI at all.

If so, what is the bias that humans have which machines shouldn't? <<< I don't know whether it is bias for space and time representation or it comes from the bias within our learning algorithms. But all human create a model of their environment with the "law" that a physical object has a certain position at a certain time. Also we think intuitively that the distance to a point does not depend on the velocity towards this point. These were two examples which are completely wrong as we know from modern physics. Why is it so important for an AGI to know this? Because AGI should help us with the progress in technology. And the most promising open field in technology are within the nanoworld and the macrocosm. It should be useful if an AGI has an intuitive understanding of the laws in these worlds. We should avoid to rebuild our own weakness within AGI. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
