Reply to Bruce's clarification:
Thanks that helps a lot! I think we are basically together on the unknown
potential latent in the man-machine gestalt. Where we seem to differ is
in some details (who said "the devil is in the details") which center around
whgat is or is not possible. We have found great help in the writings of
Chaitin, Kampis, Rosen, etc. and fear that you still seem to take those
demonstrations too lightly ( a fear which may turn out to be totally
unjustified, but that's why we are communicating). This ia all VERY helpful to
me and I have to believe that that is probably more general.
best regards, Don
P.S. The message you responded to and actually extracted from was also sent
back to me as "undeliverable".....yes, mistakes DO happen!
