Artificial Intelligence

Roger Penrose considered it impossible. Thinking could never

imitate a computer process. He said as much in his book, The

Emperor's New Mind. But, a new book, The Intuitive Algorithm,

(IA), suggested that intuition was a pattern recognition

process. Intuition propelled information through many neural

regions like a lightning streak. Data moved from input to

output in a reported 20 milliseconds. The mind saw,

recognized, interpreted and acted. In the blink of an eye.

Myriad processes converted light, sound, touch and smell

instantly into your nerve impulses. A dedicated region

recognized those impulses as objects and events. The limbic

system, another region, interpreted those events to generate

emotions. A fourth region responded to those emotions with

actions. The mind perceived, identified, evaluated and acted.

Intuition got you off the hot stove in a fraction of a

second. And it could be using a simple algorithm.

Is instant holistic evaluation impossible?

The system, with over a hundred billion neurons, processed

the information from input to output in just half a second.

All your knowledge was evaluated. Walter Freeman, the famous

neurobiologist, defined this amazing ability. "The cognitive

guys think it's just impossible to keep throwing everything

you've got into the computation every time. But, that is

exactly what the brain does. Consciousness is about bringing

your entire history to bear on your next step, your next

breath, your next moment." The mind was holistic. It

evaluated all its knowledge for the next activity. How could

so much information be processed so quickly? Where could such

knowledge be stored?

Exponential growth of the search path

Unfortunately, the recognition of subtle patterns posed

formidable problems for computers. The difficulty was an

exponential growth of the recognition search path. The

problems in the diagnosis of diseases was typical. Normally,

many shared symptoms were presented by a multitude of

diseases. For example, pain, or fever could be indicated for

many diseases. Each symptom pointed to several diseases. The

problem was to recognize a single pattern among many

overlapping patterns. When searching for the target disease,

the first selected ailment with the first presented symptom

could lack the second symptom. This meant back and forth

searches, which expanded exponentially as the database of

diseases increased in size. That made the process absurdly

long drawn – theoretically, even years of search, for

extensive databases. So, in spite of their incredible speed,

rapid pattern recognition on computers could never be

imagined.

The Intuitive Algorithm

But, industry strength pattern recognition was feasible. IA

introduced an algorithm, which could instantly recognize

patterns in extended databases. The relationship of each

member of the whole database was coded for each question.

selection. Every member of the database was individually

coded for elimination in the context of each answer.

Instant pattern recognition

IA was proved in practice. It had powered Expert Systems

acting with the speed of a simple recalculation on a

spreadsheet, to recognize a disease, identify a case law or

diagnose the problems of a complex machine. It was instant,

holistic, and logical. If several parallel answers could be

presented, as in the multiple parameters of a power plant,

recognition was instant. For the mind, where millions of

parameters were simultaneously presented, real time pattern

recognition was practical. And elimination was the key.

Elimination = Switching off

Elimination was switching off - inhibition. Nerve cells were

known to extensively inhibit the activities of other cells to

highlight context. With access to millions of sensory inputs,

the nervous system instantly inhibited – eliminated trillions

of combinations to zero in on the right pattern. The process

stoutly used "No" answers. If a patient did not have pain,

thousands of possible diseases could be ignored. If a patient

could just walk into the surgery, a doctor could overlook a

wide range of illnesses. But, how could this process of

elimination be applied to nerve cells? Where could the wealth

of knowledge be stored?

Combinatorial coding

The mind received kaleidoscopic combinations of millions of

sensations. Of these, smells were reported to be recognized

through a combinatorial coding process, where nerve cells

recognized combinations. If a nerve cell had dendritic

inputs, identified as A, B, C and so on to Z, it could then

fire, when it received inputs at ABC, or DEF. It recognized

those combinations. The cell could identify ABC and not ABD.

It would be inhibited for ABD. This recognition process was

recently reported by science for olfactory neurons. In the

experiment scientists reported that even slight changes in

chemical structure activated different combinations of

receptors. Thus, octanol smelled like oranges, but the

similar compound octanoic acid smelled like sweat. A Nobel

Prize acknowledged that discovery in 2004.

Galactic nerve cell memories

Combinatorial codes were extensively used by nature. The four

"letters" in the genetic code – A, C, G and T – were used in

combinations for the creation of a nearly infinite number of

genetic sequences. IA discusses the deeper implications of

this coding discovery. Animals could differentiate between

millions of smells. Dogs could quickly sniff a few footprints

of a person and determine accurately which way the person was

walking. The animal's nose could detect the relative odour

strength difference between footprints only a few feet apart,

to determine the direction of a trail. Smell was identified

through remembered combinations. If a nerve cell had just 26

inputs from A to Z, it could receive millions of possible

combinations of inputs. The average neuron had thousands of

inputs. For IA, millions of nerve cells could give the mind

galactic memories for combinations, enabling it to recognize

subtle patterns in the environment. Each cell could be a

single member of a database, eliminating itself (becoming

inhibited) for unrecognized combinations of inputs.

Elimination the key

Elimination was the special key, which evaluated vast

combinatorial memories. Medical texts reported that the mind

had a hierarchy of intelligences, which performed dedicated

tasks. For example, there was an association region, which

recognized a pair of scissors using the context of its feel.

If you injured this region, you could still feel the scissors

with your eyes closed, but you would not recognize it as

scissors. You still felt the context, but you would not

recognize the object. So, intuition could enable nerve cells

in association regions to use perception to recognize

objects. Medical research reported many such recognition

regions.

Serial processing

A pattern recognition algorithm, intuition enabled the finite

intelligences in the minds of living things to respond

holistically within the 20 millisecond time span. These

intelligences acted serially. The first intelligence

converted the kaleidoscopic combinations of sensory

perceptions from the environment into nerve impulses. The

second intelligence recognized these impulses as objects and

events. The third intelligence translated the recognized

events into feelings. A fourth translated feelings into

intelligent drives. Fear triggered an escape drive. A deer

bounded away. A bird took flight. A fish swam off. While the

activities of running, flying and swimming differed, they

achieved the same objective of escaping. Inherited nerve cell

memories powered those drives in context.

The mind – seamless pattern recognition

Half a second for a 100 billion nerve cells to use context to

eliminate irrelevance and deliver motor output. The time

between the shadow and the scream. So, from input to output,

the mind was a seamless pattern recognition machine, powered

by the key secret of intuition – contextual elimination, from

massive acquired and inherited combinatorial memories in

nerve cells.

Backup....But Where To?

We all know we have to backup regularly, but those backups

files can get huge. Add that to your existing your files and

your notebook computer hard drive seems to have shrunk

overnight. No matter what size hard drive you have on your

notebook computer, space is a premium. Besides, it's not

exactly a good idea to store your backups on the same hard

drive since you can't retrieve it -- rather defeats the

purpose of backing up don't you think? So what do you do,

what are your options?

Backup to an external hard drive. This is probably the

quickest, most cost effective option. You can often get a

removable drive on sale or with rebate for a low price too.

You can get one with hundreds of Gigabytes of space too. They

can be easy to hookup to your notebook computer. However, do

remember that they are hard drives and hard drives can fail.

You may find the external backup fails before your notebook

computer does.

Online backup. This is actually a good idea because physical

disasters can happen to your home. And when that happens, you

will always have a copy in a place not affected by the

disaster. This is why businesses usually have one backup in

the premises and one (or more) off premises. The good thing

about online backup is, it's accessible from anywhere with an

internet connection. So if your notebook fails when you're

away from home, you can still retrieve your data.

Many of these services are reasonably priced and they provide

you with everything you need to get the backups safely

transfered. But because your data will be on someone else's

system, choose a reputable company, one who is not only

established but takes customer data confidentiality very

seriously.

Network attached storage. This would make more sense if you

have several computers. They allow you to not only backup

several computers' data into one location but also ability to

share or retrieve files from that central area. You can also

achieve a similar effect equipping an older computer with a

large hard drive and use it just for storage or backup.

Backup to CD or DVD. This is considered the safest for long

term data integrity. External drives and network storage can

still crash and prone to virusses. CD's and DVD's are also

inexpensive. But backing up to disks daily is chore as you'll

find yourself having to manually pop in the disks. It becomes

even more hard work when you have a lot of files and your

backup spans several disks. The other problem with this

method is, backup utilities that come with your operating

system cannot backup to a CD or DVD drive. So you'll have to

fork out extra cash to buy a third party backup software that

will.

No backup solution is one hundred percent and what you choose

of course will depend on how you work. If your data is really

important to you, try not rely on one backup source. Create

two separate sources if you can afford to, just in case.

Registry Cleaner Protection For PC

Your personal computer saves all the processes that are happening within it. The operating system has its own log of these

programs running, and changes that are happening within it. What is a registry cleaner? First you must understand what a

registry is. A registry is an applet within your compendium pack of an operating system. Within the term itself ¡°registry¡±

registers the processes that take place. It also takes note of the automatic processes that are happening in your PC and are

running in the background. Think of the registry as a big notebook of your PC¡¯s to-do list and it logs everything into it.

Why a registry cleaner important? Registry cleaners are important because it protects your PC from other processes that are

not considered viruses, but can be harmful to your PC. Is your computer slowing down without your knowledge? Are you having

errors that are not distinguished by your anti-virus program? Your PC might be affected by applications that are running

without your knowledge. Registry cleaners are a must!

Your PC might be inflicted by Adwares, Spywares and Spambots. In addition, your registry might be littered with logs that

commands your PC to execute these files. A registry cleaner is needed to clean some of these programs. Registry cleaners

detect errors in your PC. Registry cleaners help your PC function properly and registry cleaners detect errors, and deletes

and/or fixes them. For your PC to function in its optimum performance, you must have a registry cleaner. The basic programs

that your PC should have in order to function properly should be: anti-virus software, firewall, anti-spam, and a good

registry cleaner.

When your PC suddenly has a mind of its own, it might have caught a Spyware, or an Adware from the internet. Spywares and

adwares are small programs that download themselves from the internet to your PC. They affect your PC¡¯s registry and a

registry cleaner can possibly fix the errors that they cause. Spywares monitor your PC¡¯s activity?the programs running,

registry information, websites visited. Adwares are annoying pop-ups and spam mails. Registry cleaners often block these from

proliferating in your PC. These programs are not considered virus by your anti-virus, but it tinkers your PC¡¯s registry, and

sometimes cause errors.

A registry cleaner fixes ¡°bugs¡± or errors that are inherent in your PC. If you don¡¯t have a registry cleaner, your PC will

function at a slower rate. Also, without a registry cleaner, a PC will be inflicted with many annoying programs that run on

the background. A registry cleaner scans, identifies and fixes the bugs that are contained in your operating system¡¯s

registry. Some of the bugs in your PC are actually from other programs that you have installed. Sometimes, your PC is running

programs that are non-existent anymore. Installation and uninstallation processes also affect your PC¡¯s performance.

Registry cleaners also deal with these errors. Sometimes, files are corrupted when you uninstall. Some PC¡¯s even restart on

Internet...The Gold Mine.

With the advent of the internet and the ease of which information can readily be downloaded and compiled you would think that more people would realize that the public domain is a source of wonderful wealth that can be tapped into for huge profits.

I have spent the last 4 years "discovering" little known secrets of this information that is readily available to those who know where to look. Or should I say "prospect". That's exactly what it is. It's Mining. When you mine the internet, you are not mining little rocks in a quarry or dredging a cold river looking for that elusive nugget of gold. You are searching for the gold of the future, and of the past. Information becomes your ore. You now become an information prospector. A "Millennium-Age Gold Miner."

The tools of your trade are much different today than in the days of old. Your "pick-axe" has evolved into your mouse, and your "gold pan" is your hard drive. Your computer is the dredge and your internet connection is your "claim". In the old days when a prospector found gold he would drive a stake in the ground and this would become his claim. You are doing the same thing when you sign the contract for your internet connection. You are staking a claim to the largest source of wealth in the world. Public Domain Information.You transcend the boundaries of the physical world by entering a realm in which it is possible to find riches in the deepest recesses and crevices of the web. The public domain is the undiscovered country of the information age. It's mysteries are deep as oceans and it's knowledge as expansive as the universe. The public domain now becomes ultimate natural resource.

Information has always reigned king since the beginning of time. There are millions of us who know not the sheer power and value of the information that is freely available to anyone who knows where to look.
The new millennium, and the information-age is very much like the GoldRush of 1849 in which hundreds of thousands of people rushed westward in a stampede of gold seeking pioneers. Some were young, some old, some in between, but all sought a common goal. Gold. Only this time it is different, the gold we seek in this age is information, and it's not mere thousands, but hundreds of millions people who are on this new quest blazing new trails and forging great new paths to wealth.
Information is abundant and widely available. You can mine this gold at anytime, from any place in the world. You do not have to travel vast distances facing the perils of the land to stake your claim. All you need is a computer and a connection to the web. From anywhere in the world you are able to seek out, find, download, and refine your treasure from the warm and cozy comfort of home.

Never before, in the history of man have you been able to procure such wealth so quickly. You are able to locate information on any subject in an instant, and your results are displayed before you faster than you could have ever imagined.Your "gold pan" quickly become full of the valuable information-ore. Each time you find a nugget it motivates you to find more. You become entranced with the new found riches and it almost becomes obsession. The desire to find more pulses through your veins like a hot drug, steadily increasing your craving for more. The more you find the more you want.

It the realization becomes obvious that you have "Gold-Fever" and now you can't stop searching for more information.This is what the public domain is. It's an internet goldmine chock full of free information ready for the taking.

Stake your claim!

Happy Mining.
