UD is the power of PTM (Persistent Turing Machine) or RTM (Reactive Turing Machine) I think. PTM: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225181994_Persistent_Turing_Machines_as_a_Model_of_Interactive_Computation RTM: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890540113000874 But if consciousness requires more than TM+UD (TM+PTM, or TM+RTM), then how can a mere Mechanism (TM, or TM+UD) replace a brain? @philiprhrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
