Re: Observations and Assumptions in "The Chinese Room" Arguement

If you look at the "parity" codes you will find that it is not just a
simple parity code, it is in fact an information system whereby a
considerable amount of computation (done in parallel) is needed for
decoding.

NL evolves in a similar way. Dawkins and other evolutionary biologists
talk about memes - units of social evolution. What I am suggesting is
that words in NL have different meanings according to the words
surrounding them. Evolution will set the level of information transfer
to be approximately constant.

Natural Language has a considerable degree of redundancy, particularly
when spoken. This is very similar to the ESA codes.

These arguments are described in detail in
