Document Summary
The natural imperative of knowing: analyze ontological basis, formalize put into symbols and equations, something effective to communicate. (math is very multi-apt, mechanize turing. Make a concept useful, make a tool with it. In that wagon is a battery (food) and a bomb (danger) If the robot tries to analyze the situation, it will end up in combo explosion. The robot will attempt to run through all these specific (not relevant) side effects to moving the wagon. There are so many possible side effects: the probability that the robot will deduce move the bomb is. It cannot deduce what is relevant, removing the bomb, within a time limit. Let"s argue a famous concept by john locke: tabula rasa. Locke says goal states are found by association by going out to the world by trial and error. These are locke"s principles of assocation: similarity-contrast, contiguity, frequency. Similarity contrast is not an intrinsic property of matter.
