AIXI models an intelligent agent interacting with an environment as a pair of
interacting Turing machines. At each step, the agent outputs a symbol to the
environment, and the environment outputs a sy
I really appreciate Matt's comments about this even though I am wary
of the field. It is important to have some ideas about why the AI
problem is so hard, and that insight is best told with some
descriptive information like Matt's message. Of course, if no one is

That was helpful. Thanks.

It doesn't explain why it's hard (is impossible "hard"?). That you

Steve,
The KRAKEN paper was quite interesting, and has a LOT in common with my own
Dr. Eliza. However, I saw no mention of Dr. Eliza's "secret sauce", that
boosts it from answering questions to solving problems given symptoms. The
secret sauce has two primary ingredients:

I finally gave up on having Dr. Eliza answer questions, because the "round trip

KRAKEN contains lots of good ideas, several of which were already on my wish

I wonder if the folks at Cycorp would be interested in such an effort?

Mike,
More than multiplicity is the issue of discrete-point semantics vs.
continuous real-world possibilities. Multiplicity could potentially be
addressed by requiring users to put (clarifications) following unclear words

If I understand you correctly, Cycorp's code should be *public domain*, and
as such, I should be able to simply mine for the features that I am looking
for. It sounds like Cycorp doesn't have a useful product (yet) whereas it
looks like I do, so it is probably I who should be doing this, no
