( biologlical entites need signals ? ) the accumulation of power. sends a signal to others. money might be considered a useful signal. it can be sent as an exchange or accummulated for a status bump in a narrow search space. the observer perception meanings are complex topics for our conferences . I will fund . including hiring others to research. seminars. weekends etc 1 Power . what is it? what are some of its forms. , financial- physical intellectual poliitical. computational - and others. . chomsky - langauge ehud military. gates. financial.. etc Deception . biology vs mathematics. biological entities FEED. therefore predator prey , look at the cost benefit of deception , including self deception. also respect , how it is earned. wasted, stolen , even borrowed inherited, and then dignity the study of self respect? 3 Money , what is it ? an agreement? a signal. similar to ATP. stored converted and used. created, local global 4. music, melody horizontal combined with vertical . ie melody and harmony, the harmony is extremely involved. i dont understand if computation can be made so that parallel processors not only work their own voice but can be overlayed to form a more complex pattern 5 Probabiliy - is it a force like gravity. we can describe ( measure ) gravity , we can describe probabilities. neither do we understand what they are, 6 Derivation of the Power laws and distributions in biological systems. ( is intelligence really) just a self organized layered probability engine. ) 7 and most interesting of all MOBJECTS . what are they, what role do they play in cognition are they the wittgenstein like " images " , or are they are more. -they are embedded in context. they have emotional dimensions. my guess is as the brain sits in 3d space any slicing. would render moot. the mere study of the pattern of neuron firings. how do mojects relate to "concepts. ". I think they are transformations. a set of mobjects can be desribed as a concept. . the set of concepts as phenomenon. etc we know our sensory organs each act in a very narrow band. as joi said how are they circled. bounded constrained. focus and attention would be a weighting of one dimension of the Moject or its projection please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
