Document Summary

Have a world out there with people talking, things to read, etc. Have sensory input organs that take in information for processing. Have actuators in your body (ex. sniff, move hands) producing actions. Have a feedback loop where an action such as turning a page changes what we perceive: robotics, robots have sensors (ex. auditory, sonar) instead of sensory organs, phones have actuators, being able to produce sounds and vibrate. Robot like r2-d2 can roll around: disembodied software, e(cid:454).

Can think of transaction database as its environment, and it observes those transactions to make predictions. Gray area of if the data is part of its memory or just something it looks at.
