Hi Elliot,
Your point about evolution being, 'Non linear' is interesting.
However, may i suggests that the emergence of AI and then its subsequent
moving away from human intellect (and by intellect i don't mean merely logic,
but that's another story) does fit the picture and it may be linear to use
your approach?
While moving towards independence AI may be put to use in many creative and
exciting ways?
Also, a vase made 3000 years ago may be viewed as a primitive artificial
memory accessible in a different time, place and culture?
If memory is the total sum of stable patterned experience then an ancient
vase, culture, CD-ROM have much in common?
Technology which memorises a method, say bows, looms, videos, PC's are
capable of duplication of sorts?
AI, one may suspect, would be a complex pattern of value capable of evolving
in accordance with dynamic quality. One of the facinating things about
computer software is that the computer itself is a programme - a point
emphasised by Pirsig in Lila.
Once dynamic quality has a chance to move and shake, anything may happen?
All the best,
Squonk.
