Re: Creating descriptions from descriptions

None the less, when you look more closely at human behavior, we find that
we have larges amounts of intelligent behaviors which are not language, and
that we use language in close connection with our other behaviors to the
point that you can't really separate language behavior from other types of
behavior. We communicate with other humans (and other animals) simply by
how we move. Walking down the street, we might communicate someone we are
about to run into that we will walk to the right just by how we turn our
head, and we sense that that too understand that we are about to run into
each other and that they agree they too will walk to the right just by how
they turn their head or hold their arms. Every movement we make of every
part of our body acts as a tool for communicating with our environment -
our intelligent interaction with our environment goes far beyond just the
words we speak. As such, any language-centric view of intelligence to me
is a fallacy. Intelligence is not language centric, it's behavior centric.
It's a problem of a physical machine, producing physical behavior in
response to a physical environment.

You reminded me about what I was really interested in a few years ago,
some of the puzzles I gradually found solutions to, or were resolved,
some required I Iearned other areas.....still tho, it remains, more
along the
lines of non-verbal communications, which isn't exactly calculation
using
maths, Heiska, do you think its at all possible to have a machine
communicate
roughly typical of human thoughts via languages?
