Physical

Term: Physical

Typical definition example: Of or relating to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.
Wikipedia example: A physical property is any property that is measurable, whose value describes a state of a physical system.

Proposed Definition: The set of things whereby any item in the set can cause an effect on any other item in the set

Justification: The typical definition of physical just splits up all things that we'd consider physical (atoms, particles, energy, etc.) into physical things that happen in the brain and other physical things, or it explicitly assumes the mind isn't physical or doesn't have physical causes or explanations. The new proposed definition leaves the distinction of whether the mind is physical or not to be tested and discovered though the scientific method. The mind may end up being physical, it may end up not being physical, but that will depend on scientific investigation, instead of being predefined ahead of time.

Intelligence

Typical Definition of Intelligence : the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Wikipedia Definition: the ability to perceive information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context. Proposed Definition: A measure of the ability to make comparisons To define intelligence what typically happens is that we start with intelligent behavior, which essentially just means acting like a human. Animals that act more like us are more intelligent, and things that act less like us are less intelligent. People who can solve the kinds of problems humans can solve, but can solve them faster or can solve more difficult versions are deemed to be more intelligent. Then, working backwards, we assume there's some quality of 'intelligence' that causes or enables this kind of behavior. One of the biggest problems with this very vague definition of intelligence is that it's hard to nail down. Is someo...

Animal learning as data compression

By
Instead of the more general kind of learning , let's look at what kind of qualities animal learning has, what mechanisms actually make brains work. I think that there's undoubtedly at least part of our brains (and other animal brains) that work this way. They connect stimulus to response and are able to be adapted over time, which would qualify as a form or learning. If we accept that learning is an unconscious way of storing stimulus and response pairs, then we can think of the different ways that could be accomplished. We can imagine a very simple animal that just has one set of sensory receptors and each individual receptor is simply hardwired to stimulate a particular response - when triggered it flees light for example. And we can imagine more and more of these simple 1-to-1 sensory-to-response connections being made, each working independently of each other. Eventually though for animals with a lot of detailed senses and a lot of possible responses, they would end up wi...

Learning and Intelligence

Additional thoughts on learning and intelligence In previous posts I've looked at the idea that learning is the process of connecting responses to stimulus , and that the actual way that learning happens in animals is essentially a form of data compression.  If we think of learning like this, then we should ask how the data compression works, what process or rules does it follow if any? The key to good data compression is to find patterns in the data and take advantage of that, and the world we live in comes ready made with rules that govern how it works, the physical laws of the universe. It would seem that it would be possible for our brains to take advantage of this to compress responses to stimuli efficiently, and that that process could have the beneficial side effect of making the prediction of physical processes easier. The learning process would not only be encoding individual responses, but also patterns in those responses and the rules that determine what shape those...
