Intelligence draws upon the resources of what Dostoevsky, in the "Notes from
Underground", called the "advantageous advantage" of the individual who found
his life circumscribed by "logarithms", or some form of computational
determinism: the ability to veto reason. My present inclination is to believe 
that AI, in the long run, may only be a test for underlying mechanical
constraints of of theories of intelligence, and therefore inapplicable to 
to the simulation of human intelligence. 


I'd like to hear this argued for or against.

Best wishes to all,
