Possibilities for A.I.Theory.....

[Tim Gwinn <***>]

Somewhat along the lines of the kind of reconsiderations Jack mentions,
Rodney Brooks, a well-known AI researcher and Director of the Comp. Sci. and
AI Lab at MIT, has even acknowledged that Rosen's "insightful analysis" in
"Life Itself" may provide the kind of answers that AI has been missing. See
his PDF "Living Machines" at:
http://www.csail.mit.edu/research/abstracts/abstracts03/artificial-life/arti
ficial-life.html

Brooks' publications (including the "The Relationship Between Matter and
Life" paper for Nature referenced in the "Living Machines paper) is at:
