... Perhaps it's better to say software is a loose term for a group of computer programs. A program is a set of instruction in a formal language. Now maybe we...
... ?????????? How do you define the difference between learning systems and quantum-systems? This kind of statement is hand waving away any hope of a theory...
... By no error, I simply mean quantum logical entanglement is always perfect and there is never any outcome that the system is not arranged to receive. ...
... [snip] ... I don't think so, because entanglement itself is never perfect, so there's always some 'noise' from prior entanglements. ... Why won't this...
... I believe you are mistaken. Consider the case of light incident on a vertical polarizer. Half the light passes and becomes polarized vertically with one...
... Interesting. If elemental particles are observers, then such a topology could provide the means by which a group of such observers can maintain an...
... I'm not sure I understand the significance of this statement. You seem to be talking about three types of systems: Classical computer systems Quantum...
... I should have said software includes sets of interacting programs which each implement some algorithm by a set of coded instructions. Thanks for the...
... Jim, forgive me, I read your message rather quickly and haven't had time to fully consider it yet but I believe I read enough to conclude that whatever...
When there exists a way to correlate quantum events with memory, then the experiences the organism will have will exhibit blurring effects that resemble...
... Indeed, save the taboo of the use of the word "emergence", we have generally agreed. Given my unothodox view this is quite rare. ... We need to accept the...
... Cool. No problemo ... I'm not at all sure that's what I'm saying. Mostly because your list of systems contains an ambiguous qualifier *many*? Let's take...
John, While we might call the technique of quantum, optical, evolutionary, and neural computing themselves a kind of effective method, my point was that the...
On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 9:19 AM, Franklin Whitescarver ... Well the system is constantly programmed. It is not preprogrammed. Quantum systems are programed at...
... Who is Franklin and where is the rest of his message? ... Somehow Zeno comes to mind... ;o) Your use of the terms "programmed" and "pre-programmed" are...
... I included my dad's full message in my reply, which I hoped would reveal the closeness of our views. ... You lost me here for the moment. ... Indeed. I...
Jim: I tend to think that our positions/thoughts/concepts/abstractions/ are much closer then the argument we're engaged in might imply. This doesn't mean...
I most always find your writing refreshing and insightful. Each school of thought always has its own language. I do not think you aim of having a common...
On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 3:18 PM, Franklin Whitescarver ... I would say, ability to solve problems. ... There never is. We can assume that people will come up...
... "Good for you! The problem, to a great extent, in my view, is that people think they know." Or can know what intelligence is. It is a moving target that...
... Thanks for saying so. ... Can you provide an algorithm for sorting the two? ;o) ... LOL, my single exception to your vocabulary is for exactly the same ...
... No. All that is important is that we sick by a reasonable definition. ... Just like my dad. Problem solutions define intelligence in my view, We know...
I think we should pat each other on the back. This is one of the most civil and interesting discussion... ever. Thanks Jim! (better than internet porn!) ;o) ...
... LOL ;o) Here's a tip from Sam Harris we'll call, the Bayesian wager: Mormonism is more likely to be wrong than Christianity because its Christianity with...
... Good point - a whole new set of tablets (gold ones this time), transcriptions, and interpretations leading to the Code of the angel Moroni (sometimes...
... LOL, Thanks, John! ... Well excuuuse me. How about, the appearance of an pattern exhibiting collective properties in addition to those associated with its...
... Ha Ha Ha. Every finite notion of God is necessarily wrong. To the pious, God is mysterious. So indeed, the more we think we know the more wrong we are in...
... Jim W. ... Unfortunately the term "God" carries with it far too much baggage to be taken seriously--at all. If there be some concept you wish to address...
John, You obviously have a much greater understanding of God than I do. I have tried to be clear, that as a constructionist scientist, I also do not accept the...
