An Introduction to Intelligence (Part 1).

Life is so varied; where inputs differ, processes differ and outputs differ. Where the Inputs as well as Processes and Outputs become modifiable according to an algorithm (which can modify itself according to its environment), then we have the basis of simulating Life within machines.

 

Were we to go a step further, and use a loop within this algorithm to provide feedback to our Inputs, Processes and Outputs  according to experience (backtracking (or more appropriately put reasoning)) then we have the basis of simulating Intelligence.

 

The Life Algorithm of a Fly.

 

Let us begin our exploration, by looking at the humble fly..

 

 

LOOP:

 

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = FLY THEN FLY()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = FLY PAST THEN FLY PAST()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = ATTACK THEN ATTACK()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = AVOID ATTACK THEN AVOID ATTACK()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = REST THEN REST()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = EAT THEN EAT()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE = EXCRETE THEN EXCRETE()

IF BEHAVIOUR MODE..

 

GOTO LOOP

 

 

As can be seen, the Fly can perform some of the functions of a Fly according to its BEHAVIOUR MODE. At present, BEHAVIOUR MODE is fixed, but in reality, it is modifiable according to the Fly's functionality.
