Hi people (are there still any around?), For the interested, here are some links related Hecht-Nielsen's model of thalamocortex of which we have discussed a...

Hi, ... First of all, I don't think there is any proof that our 'time' (a sequence of moments) is 'continuous', even though time may be continuous in some...
... I'm not convinced that he is correct, but I'd like to know what he thinks that those pointers are made of (i.e. how they are represented in the brain) and ...
Juha, The attributes of continuous time and discrete time that directly affect, and are influenced by, logic, AI, and "temporal intelligence" (TI), are akin to...
Charles, ... I believe almost everything in the brain can be considered as discrete. The spikes either propagate or do not propagate. There is no evidence that...
... Which pointers? At least with the corticocortical (from cortex to cortex) connections he believes there are pyramidal transponder neurons which links two...

... In this, I did not talk about the discreteness of the universe, but the way the brain is known to work. For example, the eye receptors send only a discrete...
In a message dated 12/19/2003 5:02:59 AM Pacific Standard Time, ... Exactly. The brain is not man and is not consciousness. The frog leg kicks upon the...
... Some of this may be true in fact. But with AI applications we do not need to make them have a subjective experience, but just to act in an intelligent way....
In a message dated 12/20/2003 10:48:50 AM Pacific Standard Time, ... After 50 and more years, AI hasn't lived up to expectations. When AI systems can't answer...
... I agree with your first paragraph. But the AI crowd has intensively studied systems based on logic, language and other symbolic systems. And the neural...
In a message dated 12/21/2003 7:01:24 AM Pacific Standard Time, ... I am sorry that it is your (and the field's) loss to be saddled with such a fixed opinion. ...
... This opinion seems to be quite reasonable. Humans can't recognise events spaced by less than a few milliseconds. Would it make any difference if time is...
From: cmoel888@... ... It's not a bad company at all. First of all, the idea is not new. It's at least 35 years old and probably belongs to Konrad Zuse,...
In a message dated 01/09/2004 12:45:59 AM Pacific Standard Time, ... The primary meaning of "notorious" is "publicly discussed." Any opinion that is "fixed" in...

... Some AI programs have the frame problem but I don't see any frame problems in many computers. It may be possible to put several processors in parallel and...
In a message dated 01/19/2004 7:01:05 AM Pacific Standard Time, ... The reasons I have placed so much emphasis on the frame problem: 1. The Frame problem is...

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I communicated with the Temporal Intelligence group. Nice to see that you have not yet decided to cancel your ...
Hello All, On February 23 of last year I wrote the following: [start quote] "I am sorry to announce that I have decided to discontinue my research in...
Louis, Glad to hear you have not abandoned the hunt for an intelligent AI system :) I look forward to hearing about your new inspiration, so far it does not...
Dear Mr. Savaign, I e-mailed you just a moment ago before I noticed issue 91 in my e-mail inbox. I would like to offer you a fast server to place all of your...
