Could be a fascinating discussion. Some time between your trips to Africa and elsewhere? When's a possible time. Will
check with Bob too.

the issue of modeling requires mathematics before engineering or at least along side it. i spent the day with
gromov yesterday, He s come around on a great many issues and you guys see many things alike. I hope to
brign him to cambridge. and you danny hills. berwick , martin he and I can spend some time together. Ill
bring the deli.

Don't entirely follow what you say below. About AI, the field has two parts. One is basically engineering: let's construct
a driverless car, a robot that can clean the house, etc. The other is basically science: let's try to discover how the
human mind works, adopting a standard procedure of constructing models, and since we're thinking of the mind as
basically a computational system, computational models. Normal science.
I have never seen any difference between the kind of work that I do — and Bob, and quite a few others — and the second
kind of Al, which has pretty much withered on the vine as resources are poured into the first kind — which is doubtless
of considerable importance, as engineering generally is.
So it's not really clear to me what is at stake.

thank you for hosting me last night I could not pass up the opportunity to see you both, but thought it
prudent not to strain Valeria's time.. ( good juice) My thinking is as follows. I suggest that artificial
intelligence and common sense are the computational models. but computation does not need language. It
appears along the inverse function ie questions ? what if? then you need a language that has infinite
possible configurations. . even a dog knows what happens if i throw the ball, only human thought asks what
if, no gravity, what if, ball filled with helium etc. I think it is AI to the the power of minus 1. so if
chemical feedback loops , began to anticipate their reactions to many previously unsearched configurations.
