Does he not here reveal his bias? Was not Mendel simultaneously a priest and a scientist - the father of modern genetic research?<p> Chapter II - machine learning<p> 14) "If this principle of transformation is subject to a certain criterion of merit of performance, and if the method of transformation is adjusted so as to tend to improve the performance of the system according to this criterin, the system is said to learn."<p> 36) "This is an idea with which I have toyed before - that it is conceptually possible for a human being to be sent over a telegraph line."<p> 50) Simony, sorcery, Golem<p> Tales: Thousand Nights and a Night, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Monkey's Paw ... problem of literal-minded ... that magic "if it grants you anything at all it grants what you ask for, not what you should have asked for or what you intend." - problem of automation - leads to reflections of Cold War conflict<p> 63) "failsafe" discussion<p> 64) Purpose: "As engineering technique becomes more and more able to achieve human puroses, it must become more and more accustomed to formulate human purposes. In the past, a partial and inadequate view of human purpose has been relatively innocuous only because it has been accompanied by technical limitations that made it difficult for us to performa operations involveing a careful evaluation of human purpose. This is only one of the many places where human impotence has hitherto shielded us from the full destructive impact of human folly."<p> 67) prolonged life<p> Chapter VI - prosthesis design, machine translation<p> 82) mentions "tactics and strategy" regarding Cold War<p> Chapter VII - discussion of non-mathematical applications of Cybernetic theory. He does not see value in the extension of a mathematical concept to non-mathematical "soft" sciences like economics and sociology. In his justification of this he cites that these "equations" would be very much affected by societal constraints and initial conditions based upon technologies of the day - thus they would not stand up over time as equations for physical phenomena will. He compares changing rules to the Queen's croquet game in Alice in Wonderland.<p> 93) Conclusion: "It is to the body politic that many considerations of ethics must apply, and to that part of religion which is essentially a paraphrase of ethics." This last phrase I take to mean that he is refering to religious tenets such as the Ten Commandments which state basic agreements among civilized societal, e.g., don't steal, murder, etc. http://www.epistematica.com/papers/Epistematics.pdf http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=00048144-10D2-1C70-84A9809EC588EF21&pageNumber=1&catID=2 http://www.amazon.com/Information-Place-Cyberspace-Accessibility-Advances/dp/3540674926/ http://fab.cba.mit.edu/ http://www.amazon.com/Computation-Human-Experience-Learning-Doing/dp/0521386039/sr=8-1/qid=1164258679/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-5301643-8223128?ie=UTF8&s=books
