Simple patterns of intelligence
This is an idea about how intelligence could emerge from simple biological patterns. If confirmed, this could have direct impact about how we understand the human brain and how we can design new Artif...

Can a computer (or human) simulate itself?
A virtual machine is a common example of simulation. It can take the description of a (virtual) "computer" state and continue the execution from that point on. You can simulate a huge computer given a...
Shortest program that prints the play "Othello" by William Shakespeare
We have this requirement: "Create the smallest program that will print the full text of the play Othello by William Shakespeare". I should warn you that the requirement hides a trick and you will hate...
Sorting is computationally harder than playing chess
I will argue below that sorting of a big array, using only comparison, is inherently harder than solving the problem of choosing the best next move on a chess game. One could say that it is not fair t...
Mathematical incompletness and life
A friend told me once that we are living in an Universe full of unprovable truths. He was referring to the Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Without being very formal, this says that there are many mat...

Intuition and neural networks
Human intuition behaves similar to a neural network software algorithm: it produces an estimation of a certain probability, based on prior experience. The same with an artificial neural network, human...
