-
-
- For the sake of argument, I'd like to propose a discussion about
- AI. Exploring what AI is or isn't and the boundaries of logic.
-
- From what I have gathered in the past few years, AI is or isn't
- software and/or hardware or a combination of the two. Lisp, expert
- systems, fuzzy logic, etc. are all professed to be, in one form or
- another, AI. True? Maybe, but then again maybe taken as a whole
- they would constitute a portion of the qualities that make AI.
- The brain is a component of AI, insomuch that it is a dependent
- peice of hardware that requires a certain amount of input before a
- decision can be made -- be it the right decision or not is not
- important. The brain is or isn't a fully functional AI component
- without all of the other functions that it needs to process the
- input. There are numerous inputs that influence the basic
- decision process at the most elementary AI model of human behaviour.
- These inputs are processed at a level that requires the least amount
- of synaps connectivity. Computational logic also has a set of inputs,
- yet solving mathematical problems does not use the same set of rules
- that were used to process common bodily functions (i.e. breathing)
- The set of rules required to breath are imbedded, basic rules
- that the brain always follows or we would forget to breath. These
- rules are hardware dependent rather than learned and are therefore
- at the core of functional AI. Learned rules are different in that
- they expand on the core layer of the brain or basic instructional set.
-
- Which are stored ~ memory ~ recall ~ expanded ~ learned ~ stored ~~.

-
- What is the division of s/h = l (logical decision) where the expanded
- and learned inputs are deviants from the normal or expected. How much
- software is needed to construct a truly intelligent unit? Is AI really
- software dependent? Or can the hardware be independent of software to
- acheive AI?
-
- Input(s) or rather stimuli to the various regions of the brain interact
- to produce results. These results can be avoidance, preception, interest,
- motion, etc. Varying the inputs, such that an individual is required to
- solve a simple math problem standing in the middle of rush hour traffic,
- and you increase the degree of difficulty. The normal model inputs that
- allow the individual to breath are interrupted -- causual effects of the
- disruption. Which would suggest that software (i.e. external program
- instruction sets) interfers with hardware, eh? External influences are
- considered software in my model.
- Can other software or software in general eliminate or solve the
- problem? How learned can software become? Can traffic influence the
- hardware? What are the relationships? Or is there a relationship?
-
- Hardware Logic (AI)
- r1,r2,r3,r4,r5,
- s1,
- s2, t5 = r3,s2 nor gate linear?
- s3,
- s4, r = 5kv maybe not,
- s5, s = 3kv
- transversed logic,
-
- maybe.
-
-
-
- A point that intersects is t. Two points that intersect are tn.
- Multiple intersections are t^n. What are we alluding to is a possible
- non-linear approach to gated logic. Stacked logic? Maybe? But what
- are the input sources? From s,r or s,s or r,s or rr, or ? Cubed logic?
- Maybe. But is the logic software dependent? Is software necessary?
- Would hardware AI lack software as a counterpart?

-
- s1+r1,,s3+r4 = simutanious inputs,,varying logic?
-
- So, a basic gate array can be established with single inputs and multiple
- gated arrays??
-
-
- I wanted to start a dialogue and finish in the coming ???
