Defining Universes, Reference versus Awareness, How to do Artifical Intelligence and build a web browser.
So how do you define a universe? A simple way might be "All there is." Which is perfectly acceptable. But does the abstract idea of a square exist in the universe? Does the idea of a universe exist in the universe? Is the universe of ideas somehow separate from the universe itself? Is there something which isn't the universe? Somehow there is a divide between the abstract and the concrete. The abstract may be used to describe the concrete. Art is one way of making the abstract concrete. One might say that reference is abstract, and awareness is concrete. People have spent hours and hours trying to create artificial intelligence and other programs out of reference. What they need to do is spend hours and hours trying to create artificial intelligence out of awareness. Record every mouse action and key press, network traffic and deltas between screen shots--and put them through a learning program (yes, I know it's difficult to learn through time). Learn how to predict input, and what output is expected from the input. Would it be possible to build a web browser just by using a learning program that learned by watching another web browser? How much would the human have to help?
