I presume the subject of the header is to ask Hyatt's opion and doesn't mean to
suggest he has anything to do with Hiarcs. In any case, the acronym of Hiarcs
has nothing whatsoever to do with the chat options of the GUI. It is related to
the very selective search that Hiarcs uses to play chess, and how that search is
done.

Is intelligence necessarily related to emotion? In other words, would machines
only be intelligent if they experienced emotions as well?

I'd suggest reading Asimov's many Robot short stories developing his Laws of
Robotics.
