On the "Research Papers" page at www.goertzel.org, near the top, you'll find a couple speculative papers I wrote regarding how Lojban could be useful for AI. So far I have not succeeded in raising funding for implementing these ideas, unfortunately. All in good time, though.... In the language I use in those papers, future AI's might choose to (or be engineered to) communicate in something loosely equivalent to what I call "normalized Lojban," in which sentences can be represented as mathematical tree objects. AI's would have no need for Lojban's "syntactic sugar", which serves the purpose of creating convenient linearizations of the mathematical trees that represent Lojban semantics. -- Ben > -----Original Message----- > From: lojban-list-bounce@lojban.org > [mailto:lojban-list-bounce@lojban.org]On Behalf Of Ryan Keppel > Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2005 10:05 AM > To: lojban-list@chain.digitalkingdom.org > Subject: [lojban] Transhumanism > > > Are there any others who see the link to transhumanism?
