I suppose you're referring to the mention of fractals in the essay.
If not...spooky
Desires both do things and work in the way they do things.
Wrap your mind around that,[
] ONE.
If I want something I get info, set goals, implement strategy, and finally monitor progress. In that order. So with every simple want there is a whole nest of sub-desires working together toward the original one goal. Many goals behind one goal.
However, if that one goal is actually a collage of all the sub-goals then you would say that the sub-goals (1) is supported by the sub-goals (2)
This why the human mind appears to be too difficult to understand.
I believe that the strategies of sub-desires must be placed back into the equation thus forming a fractal. Of course, I wasn't really intending to promote fractals, but hey, whatever works.
This is what worked out in the essay, of course, I said it better there (I think) and it made a little more sense.
I'm planning to append a few more equations to the end of the essay. I guess, in the notes section.
There are two separate parts of an AI. 1# the desire construct, and 2# the actual body of programs that utilize the desire.(Like the imagination and interpreter programs.)
Think of a desire as a condition that a separate program responds to. You feel cold...so you put on your coat. In the previous sentence the periods actually represent an internal condition where you already knew that you hated the cold. An outward condition indicated cold weather, an inward condition indicated hatred of the cold. Therefore, a separate program responded to both conditions by actually seeking and mounting the coat. You wanted to where a coat but only when the whether was cold.
In that example you saw that a desire is no more that a condition that another program response to....you have to have both condition and a responding program to make an intelligent A.I.
