I'm looking for things like pain, sexual/maternal(?) attraction, curiosity, urge to survive, etc. ... things that are not learned. I'm working in neural networks, and I'm basically looking at (for example) the future problem of a very unmotivated simu-beast. I decided that I should probably give it curiosity for starters or something similar to make it want to explore. Any help would be appreciated. --------------------- Roger Gonzalez spam@clutx.clarkson.edu
