That is the missing link so far. We simply don't know how we do >what we do, we just know we do it. <snip> Hmmm. That sounds VERY philosophical. Almost religious. So you really do not believe the science fiction writers when they portray computers of the future creating new computers? Programs writing programs? It is not clear to me that the computers [or robots] of the future will NEVER be able to cut the umbilical cord to their human "parents." At the risk of offending human chess programmers, let me suggest that smart computers or robots will create the chess engines of the future. The humans will be told to stay home and keep out of trouble. : ) Bob D.
