Refinement: cepts are not the container, cepts are the data

 

Is there a practical way to remove the second level of environment?

HARDWARE/OS+Interpreter/AI environment host

… meaning - rather than building a word interpreter - should the leraning engine start with letters as its  building block? I think it should. Our basic level of comprehension in learning to deal with the world is not a  molecule - it is an aggregate though we can add the unseen smaller world later.

Human: tangible obj. - manipulation

AI: character obj & …?

We interact with the world

Sight - object manipulation or communication and observe reaction

What is a computer assertion?

What motivates it to interact?

In order to explore capabilities one must be able to gauge reactions to actions.

[11/20/2005 major step backward with the last 2 paragraphs… shocking after such a large leap forward  with the first sentence. Cepts are the data, not the container. Why in the world did I go to 'letters as  building blocks'??? A cept can be a letter, word, phrase or small sentence. Very strange backpedaling. The  last sentence is of slight interest: I think gauging reactions will be a function of the learning process.]
