Actually, quality hit-wise, the computer model and included theory is doing better by being published at Planet Source Code than it would in an average science journal.

I also still have the growing page-length problem that now fills at least half an issue, cannot afford publishing fees, more illustrations are needed to walk the biased (who don’t care about source code and such) through this, and so on..

The biased, by definition, are biased and won't be convinced whatever you do.

And this is it really, you have not succeed in the way you think you should have and you put it down to "bias", nothing to do at all with you.

hint: It's you.

All in all, I’m probably better off leading the undermining of the pompous part of the scientific political system that literally shuts-out self-learners like me with rules which only allow the academically entitled (or corporations) to receive funding, and credit where due.

Tell yourself that if you like. But the fact is that were this to be true: "scientific political system that literally shuts-out self-learners like me"
then it's a global worldwide conspiracy from top to bottom.

And which is more likely, that or your lack of success is down to something else?

In a way you hit the nail on the head.

Yes, people with money typically look for academic qualifications. Or results (you know, e.g. venture capitalists) will do in a pinch.

So I guess, for now, that rules you out!

Condense what you have got into a short, sharp paper that covers only the essentials that contains the "core" of your idea and send it off!

Then post the letters here. I'm sure they will be "this is rejected simply because of the content".

lol.

The forum index says this thread has 448 replies, which would fit in 15 pages of 30 posts each. But it has replies that should be on page 16, but page 16 doesn't show up without operator kludging of the URL, because the Ikonboard software computes the number of pages on the thread from the number of replies that it thinks the thread has.

Let's see if this post pushes the count that it thinks it has high enough for it to admit that there's a 16th page.

Again.

ETA: It took two additional posts to get page 16 to become visible without kludging of the URL.

Can the reply count in the forum index be updated to the correct value?

Can the Ikonboard software be fixed so that the counter stays at the correct value as replies are added?

Just thought I'd ask.

Here's a funny story Gary.

Shockingly, I don't have a Ph.D. in anything.  I'm a 'self-learner', but the difference between you and I is that I actually learn something about what I choose to talk about on the internet where everyone can read what I write.

Did you know that 'self-learners' can publish in peer-reviewed journals?  I'm still deciding if it's worth the effort it would take for me to write up the article I want to do.  You see, unlike you, I'd have to look up several hundred references and include them with the article.  You know, all those references that provide support to the things I would say in my article... oh wait, no, you must not know that.

BTW: Are you ever going to answer any of the questions I specifically asked about your specific article.

1) Do you understand that you are fundamentally mistaken about natural selection?
2) Do you have any support for an embryo modifying its genome after fertilization?
3) Do you have any support for any organism consciously choosing to modify its genome at any point in time?
4) Do you know how to develop a graph that meets the minimum requirements of 3rd grade school children?
5) There was some more, but that's all I remember and it's not worth the effort to look up, because we both know you won't acknowledge these questions... much less answer them.

What does a scientific paper need?

A testable hypothesis - you've already said yours can't be tested.

The test of the hypothesis - oops.

The data from the test - see where this is going?

The analysis of the data from the test - sigh.

A conclusion about the validity of the hypothesis based on the test - no hypothesis, no test, no conclusion.

And that is why no ID paper has ever been published in a peer-review journal.  Not a single ID proponent has ever presented a testable hypothesis for ID or the designer.

Do that FIRST, before you write a 50 page paper on ID.  Oh and it helps if, in your 'paper' you don't state things that are known to be wrong.

Gary, I may have missed it but I don't have the impression that you have answered my question regarding the fluctuation assay. Where is intelligence interfering in that assay and where does it come from? Or do you consider the fluctuation test irrelevant for your "theory".

That Wiki page does indeed list a number of scientific societies which reject the notion that 'Intelligent Design' is science. In many cases, it also provides the scientific society's reasons for rejecting the notion that 'Intelligent Design' is science. For instance, the American Assiciation for the Advancement of Science says this: "Intelligent design proponents may use the language of science, but they do not use its methodology. They have yet to propose meaningful tests for their claims, there are no reports of current research on these hypotheses at relevant scientific society meetings, and there is no body of research on these hypotheses published in relevant scientific journals. So, intelligent design has not been demonstrated to be a scientific theory."
American Astronomical Society: "'Intelligent Design' fails to meet the basic definition of a scientific idea: its proponents do not present testable hypotheses and do not provide evidence for their views that can be verified or duplicated by subsequent researchers."
I realize you presented that Wikilink to support the notion that scientists are dogmatically committed to reject Inteliigent Design, Gaulin. But after looking at that Wikipage, it seems that while scientists do, indeed, reject Intelligent Design, they don't reject it for dogmatic reasons; rather, scientists reject Intelligent Design because it just ain't science.
Got any testable hypotheses, Laddie GaGa? Yes, you have that spiffylicious computer program. Great! Does this program test a hypothesis? If so, what hypothesis does it test?

Gary, I'm still trying to figure out how your "theory" is different (if at all) from the so-called "ID inference" that the IDiots at UD and elsewhere have been pushing. That's why I've asked you particular questions and why I have more questions pending in my head. The more you're asked to provide answers and/or something testable and the more you say, the more confusing, non-testable, and unsubstantiated your "theory" appears to be. The bottom line seems to be that you're saying "intelligence" itself is intelligent.

I think it was oldman... who suggested that you present the core parts of your "theory". I'll reiterate that and suggest that you present them a step at a time and focus on things that can be analyzed/tested/compared in such a way as to figure out if those parts have any merit.

I have to add that an EA not needing to forage for nutrition is because it doesn’t have to be there, for the algorithm to “evolve” something. Adding foraging to an EA at least gets closer to reality so job well done there. It’s just that in this theory there is another algorithm entirely.

When Avida was the newest rage in the forums even though it did not hold my interest for long I still only had good things to say about it after trying it out. Might say part of my EA/GA learning experience, that I’m glad was there to download and run. Best for all to know how a EA/GA works than not.  It’s just that an EA is not in this model where there must be what there is where two of the four requirements are found met by the behavior of matter for molecular intelligence that next emerges, which runs on metabolic cycles which require feeding on something. Without it, the algorithm does not work as shown in the Intelligent Causation illustration. In fact, it does not work at all. This is also what is needed to gauge success rate, how intelligence is here detected and gauged, so are working without what you need in the first place.

The kind of paper and/or video the theory needs just happens to need electrodes in the central complex of a giant cockroach that is then given a zap through just to see what happens when stimulated. That helps explain the system being modeled in the Intelligence Design Lab that in the two lobe configuration ends up with both lobes connecting into two Confidence level subsystem central complex. Programmatically zapping it would cause the same thing to happen. So of course that video had to be in the favorites links.

I must include the Blackawton bee experiment was so inspiring it led to BobaBot-Bee (Boba a TalkRational troll once around with childish impishness that makes them inspire that) thinking that led to the final design of the critter in the Intelligence Design Lab.  

http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/site.......s.xhtml

Also programmed a version that sets up the feeders:



Since it only sees the feeders sideways in a 2 dimension flat-land, it seems like a little stuck in a mirror-room confused.  Confidence goes from (having fun chasing an easy feeder to find) 2.7 to a half unsure where to go 1.3 confidence level.  It still figures it out well enough to get around, which made it worth uploading a .zip with BlackawtonBeesLab1.exe (should be dated 08/07/2011 9:04 AM)  

https://sites.google.com/site.......ab1.zip

Regardless of their bee paper’s final conclusions being arguable, the Theory of Intelligent Design none the less found the data gathering experiment very useful:
 
http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content....t_el_86

Just in case backup link:
http://www.yuddy2046.net/web_doc....056.pdf

This theory needs papers and such that are in a whole other area of science, where it’s best to keep things as simple as that, where possible.  

It works with what you’re surprised it even can. See 0:37 into the immensely popular (in US) public education program for another example:  

PBS Dinosaur Train theme song    

Science is not going to stop over that either.  So it’s here really best to lighten up, and enjoy the novel science show. I’ll soon be back with more to address newest questions, to hopefully help make this an even brighter Sunday reply for you as well, to start off another interesting new science week with.  

An EA paper not working for this theory is not at all to be taken personally. It’s just a whole other theory with whole other model for all here to experiment with too. I would rather you be skeptical then find out that with all considered it's not all that bad, for a Theory of Intelligent Design.

Any plans on addressing all the old questions that you haven't dealt with.

1) Your misunderstanding of natural selection
2) Your misunderstanding of the level of control a fetus has in controlling its genome.
3) Your inability to draw a graph that makes sense.

The quick answer is like I was explaining earlier about design inferences and such trying to solve the scientific problem in the reverse direction of my method which begins with the most simplified cognitive model for any intelligence. In a design inference there is no beforehand knowledge of the circuit that must be there for this other level of behavior to be intelligent. My search began at our human level brain that we personally experience, to other levels of intelligence necessary for it/us to work, that then goes on into the behavior of matter from which we are expressed.

Yes, I see the differences.

One describes actual things that are actually happening in the real world and was developed using a significant amount of evidence from observation and experiment.

The other does not describe real things.  It has no evidential support.

And I would argue that the step in the middle "If desired fitness reached, then stop" is wrong.  If we knew the desired fitness level then we could design a system to do what we needed.

Genetic algorithms are used when it is very difficult to design a system, but easy to evaluate the results of a system.  For example, in optics.  It is very easy to do a ray trace on an optical lens system, but it is difficult (nearly impossible) to design a lens system to maximize some things, minimize some things, while keeping others constant (or within an approved range).

Now, the reason, I submit that the "if fitness reached, then stop" is an incorrect statement is because genetic algorithms often produce results that are surprising to researchers and engineers.  If those runs were stopped as soon as minimum fitness requirement was reached, then the maximum benefit would not have been reached.  

For example, in diesel engine management systems, researchers used genetic algorithms to vary the many components and inputs for a diesel engine in order to improve the efficiency.  Let's say the researchers wanted  a 5% reduction in soot, a 5% reduction in NOx emmisons, and  a 5% increase in fuel efficiency.   If the researchers had stopped there, then they would not have found the solutions that resulted in a 50% reduction in NOx, AND a 50% reduction in soot, AND a 10% reduction in fuel consumption.

In my experience, researchers allow a GA to run until it reaches an optimum which is not improved by the GA itself OR they run out of time or money.

BTW: Still have some issues you need to address.  Why won't you even talk about these things?

Well, I see a difference between the way you presented your "theory" and the "Darwinian theory model", but I can't say that I fully understand your "theory" and I don't think that the wording you used for the "Darwinian theory model" is accurate.

What I find myself thinking when I look at your "theory" is pretty much what I said before: That you're kinda sorta describing evolution, with intelligent thought and action thrown in, for example a feedback loop between the processes and results of adaptation/evolution (mutation, drift, variation, speciation, etc.) and environmental pressures/natural selection, but instead of it all being 'natural' or any of it being 'non-deterministic', 'random', or by 'chance' you're saying that it's guided by intelligence and deliberate actions (including or solely by guesses) within molecules and cells (and atoms?). Am I close?

I have another question:

How does extinction or extirpation fit into your "theory"?




ETA: fixed a minor spacing error.

I hope none actually expect me to feed that troll too. In this case they are essentially parroting old political slogans while clouding the issue with another pompous lecture.

It should be clear enough that there are two entirely different models, and they need way more than a brush-off to make the one for Intelligent Causation go away.

I think it was oldman... who suggested that you present the core parts of your "theory". I'll reiterate that and suggest that you present them a step at a time and focus on things that can be analyzed/tested/compared in such a way as to figure out if those parts have any merit.


We can easily compare illustrations showing core models. Here is the theory of ID:



And here is a typical EA/GA representative of the Darwinian theory model:
 


Do you see the very major differences?

Yes, I see the differences.

One describes actual things that are actually happening in the real world and was developed using a significant amount of evidence from observation and experiment.

The other does not describe real things.  It has no evidential support.
.........

I hope none actually expect me to feed that troll too. In this case they are essentially parroting old political slogans while clouding the issue with another pompous lecture.

It should be clear enough that there are two entirely different models, and they need way more than a brush-off to make the one for Intelligent Causation go away.

No Gary just say this to him, he should get it after a while.

*Snip*

Yes.

The bottom one models reality
The bottom one is accepted as science by scientists and not championed by a lone VB programmer
The bottom one has been used to solve actual problems

etc, etc.

Let's see, I ask for evidence and I'm called a troll.

I continue to remind you that you have unanswered issues with your paper and I'm ignored.

We're on page 16 here and you have yet to actually use your model to do anything or even explain it.

Can't say I'm surprised.  Let's try it in a way that creationists might understand.

DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR MODEL!?!?!?!?

Well, that depends.

Let us say that that "troll" is in fact a zombie.

And that zombie wants to eat your brains.

So no, nobody expects *you* to feed *that* troll anything at all. Simply not possible.

Gary, I'm still trying to figure out how your "theory" is different (if at all) from the so-called "ID inference" that the IDiots at UD and elsewhere have been pushing. That's why I've asked you particular questions and why I have more questions pending in my head. The more you're asked to provide answers and/or something testable and the more you say, the more confusing, non-testable, and unsubstantiated your "theory" appears to be. The bottom line seems to be that you're saying "intelligence" itself is intelligent.

Well, I see a difference between the way you presented your "theory" and the "Darwinian theory model", but I can't say that I fully understand your "theory" and I don't think that the wording you used for the "Darwinian theory model" is accurate.

Trying to briefly word the concept of "Darwinian theory model" was never easy. In more detail: Even though Charles Darwin did not show a flowchart of the logic he was describing the theory he proposed had a "model" in it. From that came EA computer models with the GA computer model most representative of what he explained. There are Mutation and Selection variables, along with additional knowledge of genes and how they can be randomly mutated which Charles did not know about.

The text of a theory should have a "model" in it, which can next be coded to make a "computer model". If there is no model in the theory there is no computer model possible from it. I would then question whether it was really a theory. Could instead be a hypothesis therefore simply true/false with an experiment where results are best shown with something like a chart, not computer model. The theory the Discovery Institute long ago presented to Kathy Martin then later Judge Jones did not have a model in it, but that was then and this is now...

What I find myself thinking when I look at your "theory" is pretty much what I said before: That you're kinda sorta describing evolution, with intelligent thought and action thrown in, for example a feedback loop between the processes and results of adaptation/evolution (mutation, drift, variation, speciation, etc.) and environmental pressures/natural selection, but instead of it all being 'natural' or any of it being 'non-deterministic', 'random', or by 'chance' you're saying that it's guided by intelligence and deliberate actions (including or solely by guesses) within molecules and cells (and atoms?). Am I close?


In this theory, intelligence always has the ability to self-learn.  From the human brain to molecular intelligence (source of what you call "evolution") there is a learning curve, biologically physically "develops", but that's it.

Evolution is a concept from another model that makes even me dizzy trying to compare their variables. I once read (not sure where likely Wikipedia) that paradigms of theories are supposed to be this way, makes sense that they are.

You're here best off not to try making the other paradigm fit this one. You end up with generalizations for what might be seen happening in an intelligent population in an Intelligence Design Lab of the future but that still does not help explain how the model works, only complicates it.

     
Quote (The whole truth @ Nov. 12 2012,09:10)
I have another question:

How does extinction or extirpation fit into your "theory"?

In this theoretical model we get an Intelligence Design Lab where there would be foraging success of its molecular intelligence, which as a population can still keep foraging through time even though every once in a while a branch falls off of it. In this theory we ultimately see the wider biosphere sized picture that in reality might not have change much because of one lineage going extinct, or may, depending on what it is and how far along in development it was.

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.

Again, the model of evolution works. It produces things that did not exist before.

What it can do is model multiple levels of fractal similar emergent intelligences which combine/combined to form multicellular living such as ourselves. And I know for a fact that your "model of evolution" does not model that, that's for sure. Does not even have a model in it to qualify something as intelligent, therefore the best you get are fuzzy generalizations that evolution is intelligent with the rest left up to the imagination.
