  1. Imagine a game where, using Conway's game of life, two or more people can fight each other. A person has to develop function(equations) that produce particular sets of squares to create an organism to fight the opponent off

  2. What exactly is this program supposed to do? I ran it and it didn't do anything.
  3. I think I posted the math somewhere in this thread. If you want me to, I can post it again.
  4. I have a hard time determining the difference between humor and serious discussion, I apologize.

      That is the question.

  6. So the main difference between my approach and the evolutionary algorithms is they simply remove the neuron while mine recycle the unacceptable ones and applies them in a different set.
  7. I have some knowledge, but not completely. Could you lay it out for me?
  8. Sure. Randomly input n amount of neurons that have a specific process applied to them, or function if you will. Using the equation, find a deviation setting that is meant for the ultimate goal and represent the ultimate goal as a "mean", as within normal distribution statistical analysis. For every neuron that is randomly added, determine if it is within the error bound of mutation for each deviation. If so, let the neuron stay in that particular set. If not, recycle that neuron and put one new neuron in the original set and the other neuron in a new subset. That is merely a prototype algorithm.
  9. Well, it isn't that there isn't a particular task, but the main point is to survive. That is the main point of the equation. The equation provides the determination of what is necessary to survive. If the particular neuron does not follow that then it will "die", or be recycled and be renewed in a new subset(hence, the evolution of each group of neurons to form one intelligence).
  10. When you dilute science with political agendas you might as well call science politics.

      But when we deny the opportunity of making a very fine joke we lose a little bit of that special something that is at the core of being human.

      My response to iNow was merely in jest, but it is merely advice that they both should be kept separate.

      I don't care what your political views are as long as you're passionate (and honest) about defending them when I show up to call you a poo-face liar.

  11. Can you please not dilute scientific discussions with political hogwash? EDIT: Just to clarify, I know dilute means to make a liquid thinner or weaker by adding a solvent to it, but the point is politics makes scientific discussions weaker and less objective.
  12. As I know at the moment, most artificial intelligence has gotten to the "learning" aspect where the intelligence has learned to develop "hypotheses" about particular tasks. Here is an example: The gist of this intelligence is it is able to do tests to see what shapes it is to walk. Other intelligence have used the Internet as a source of intelligence, such as Watson. The approach I propose is using Price's equation to "evolve" the intelligence, or structure the neurons through the same form of evolution has stated by Price's equations. Suppose a random amount of neurons n are introduced into the system. A probability function will randomize the neurons in such a way that they act as "organisms" that exist within an environment. Over time, these neurons change their structure based on the equation and soon the neurons are grouped into different sections which fulfill different tasks, but still work together to form an artificial intelligence. The difference between what I am proposing and already developed algorithms is while the recent AI that involved evolutionary algorithms work to perform a specific task, this artificial intelligence would not be programmed for a specific task, but would be lead by both randomization and the limits of the equation. If you want me to, I can explain an algorithm I have worked out.
  13. Does no one know the answer or this simply being ignored? I am simply asking for professional opinions on the matter. Would the concept work and have some improvement on the approach to artificial intelligence? Or is it a dead end?
  14. We have to establish that there is a difference between seemingly random and actually random, since I am not aware of a proof that primes are actually. "randomly" distributed.
  15. I think the main problem with this being considered a "passed test" is many of the conversation the people had probably were already implemented within the machine. I think what actually passes the test is a regular human has a regular conversation with the AI without the AI having pre-programmed or pre-stored information about the conversations being had.
  16. Could Price's equation be used for the development of artificial intelligence? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_equation If the development of AI were approached differently, where instead of having one particular intelligence and having multiple "neurons" become the artificial intelligence, could Price's equation be used to make these groups of intelligence become one artificial intelligence, since the idea would be that some "neurons" would die off while others would survive. I hope this isn't confusing for people to read. If it is, I can clarify.
  17. @Comments on Moderation - Swans don't get offended by the downvote I gave. It was being humorous. :P

  18. I am referring to the subject being able to "imagine" a symptom and feel pain or such. How can the mind do this?
  19. I have been thinking of artificial intelligence and trying to find my own way around the research. I want to first get associated with feeling and such and see where that leads me. So, it is obvious that we are capable of feeling touch. We are able to touch and the particular part of the body touched feels that touch. However, in many cases when a person loses an arm they can still feel itching in that particular area, which implies that the brain has much responsibility over feeling rather than the nerves itself, though the nerves themselves play a big role in it. My question is how is the brain capable of making us aware of the location of the touch? I know it deals with nerves and the messages sent from the brain to that particular part of the body, but how can we spatially feel the location of the touch? Sorry if this seems confusing.
  20. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140116085105.htm I think this is quite fascinating and could benefit future discoveries about the human brain. What does everyone think?
  21. It is quite sad that the hunger for adventure doesn't exist much these days. This hunger by all humans would allow us to begin colonizing other planets by now.

      Maybe humans as a whole should be putting more efforts towards space exploration and exoplanet colonization, but I don't have any particular interest in going. Maybe learning about, but not going; one could be just as productive down here on Earth.

  22. I know that genetic mutations are a major part in allowing the next generation to continue on because in order for there to be the "choice" of an offspring that can be fit for a certain environment there must be multiple "choices" available for that species to live on. However, I assume there must be a particular amount of offspring to allow the needed gene to move onto the next generation. I also assume that there is a required amount of that particular species(parents) to allow the probabilities to allow that particular offspring to be born and carry on with the gene. If all my assumptions are correct, and correct them if they are wrong, is there an equation to determine what the minimum amount of offspring needed to allow this gene to move on to the next generation, given the amount of parents needed is already met? I can clarify if this doesn't make sense.
  23. And these alterations are caused by genetic mutations.
  24. Thank you for the response. I will make sure that everything is secure.
  25. After working on my website and adding in PHP security while using cookies to determine if someone is logged in as a certain user, I thought of something that may be bad if it can occur. Can a cookie be edited from the browser? If this is the case, then a person can simply edit the cookie to make themselves be disguised as another user which means I will have to modify the way users can sign in and such. I assumed that there is security behind the cookie so people can't do this, but wanted to make sure it was accurate.
