That's about spelling, not grammar.  That example is a classic  - I have used versions of it in classes for years.  Nonetheless, it doesn't excuse your writing: you misuse words, mangle your grammar, and drop non sequiturs all over, all of which too often makes what you write uninterpretable.  Brains can handle misspellings (if the first and last letters are correct), but not the types of clangers that lard up your writing.

See? It's a bit harder when the wording is awkward and the grammar is effed up too.

Once again Gaulin confuses spelling with grammar. Just as he confuses his not-a-theory with science.

Damn, N.Wells beat me to it...carry on.

In the model I'm coming up with the "grammar" would be in the interplay between words that describe what to model in the Navigation Network type memory, used to map out the scene being described or interaction of moving parts of something in it. Cortical areas of the brain would recall what we know about how things interact and this way even describe complex machines. But where grammar is a problem you end up with a model of something that never did or ever will happen. We right away know we're missing something. A mistake can become obvious where it makes sense only one other way.

Good grammar leads to the cortical areas properly interacting together.

I could have said "are" but at the level of detail the model I explain requires what they both help evidence is the same thing, not two or more different systems. I had to go with what best describes the thought. Here Arnold and David are pointing to the same thing/circuit (I explain), not two separate things that have to be separately learned. If I had used "are" it would be what I'm trying NOT to describe, which left only one logical choice. I hope you noticed that, though I sense it is more likely you thought it was bad grammar.

Why?  It is not germane to the specifics of this discussion.
We, and most certainly you, would be much further ahead if your only problem was spelling.  Your grammar indicates profoundly damaged [or entirely missing-from-action] thinking.

You're not 'coming up with a model', you're building a fantasy out of bright shiny notions that bear no resemblance nor connection to reality.  We have reams of evidence that neither the brain nor the mind work the way you keep trying to describe them as working.  Facts first, theories later.
The fact that you can come up with a (misspelled, ungrammatical, incompetently conveyed) descriptive fantasy that is asserted to result in the same end state as is observed in the real world is in no way supportive of the notion that 'therefore the end state was achieved by means of my descriptive fantasy'.
We keep having to point this out to you.  Learning is not just a word you misuse, fail to comprehend, it is obviously something that in your world only happens to other people.
 
Quote

No, where grammar is lacking, or damaged past any rescue, you don't end up with a model.  You end up with an incoherent mess.  You do not rise the level of 'model' without a basic grammar.  You are equally lacking in syntax and semantics.
 
Quote

We know right away that we're missing something when a purported model is based on no relevant facts, contains no logical structure, provides no explanation, makes  not predictions, etc.
One of the all but infinite number of problems with your output is that there is 'one other way' in which it makes sense.
It is not a dead parrot.  It is not even a poorly constructed effigy of a parrot.  It is a pile of guano, none of which was produced by parrots.

That is so profoundly confused, exhibits so many deep errors of comprehension and meaning, as to leave one speechless.

As we have already pointed out, repeatedly, with supporting examples and logical argument:
You parasitize the work of Trehub and Heisermann, your work does not provide any sort of 'explanation', fails to connect to biology or Cognitive Science.
Your presumed familiarity by use of first names is rude, arrogant, snide, and entirely dishonest.

Your ongoing attempts to pretend that your brain fart is fog and that the fog is the bright light of illumination by adopting a stance of talking down to people who are, without exception, your superiors in every form of intelligence, merely confirms that you are not so much wrapped in a shimmering cloak of complete lack of self-awareness so much as you are willfully entangled in it.

Your grammar is objectively bad.
Your spelling is objectively bad.
Your communication skills are objectively lacking -- not so much 'missing in action' as 'never received or installed'.
Your notions are objectively banal, generally false, and to all intents and purposes never what you 'think' they are.  Insofar as they are original, or one or two connections removed from the original work of others, they are not explanatory of the phenomena you direct them towards.  Insofar as they are not original, they are old news, or, if not old, then completely misunderstood and misapplied.

The problems lie not with us but with you.  No matter how much comfort you take from trying to pretend otherwise.
They begin at the pre-verbal level [and let us make passing note at how your ridiculous 'model' fails to handle verbal communication].  They worsen from there.

But really, the only thing required to blow your whole charade of adequacy, let alone superiority, out of the water is your failure to convince a single person after roughly 10 years of touting your effluent across the net.  Your coding award is irrelevant to the matter of your notions, your 'theory'.  There simply is no support, anywhere, from anyone, for your midden of not-really-ideas.

Good grief but you are full of crap.  If X = Y, would you say "X and Y is the same thing", or "X and Y are the same thing"?  
If that is a little obscure, just compare "X and Y are the same" versus "X and Y is the same".

X and Y are nominally two things, but we are unifying them in the singular expression "the same thing".  Until we do that, they deserve treatment as two things, so they are "they", not "it".

You should have just initially said something like, "Machine intelligence as conceptualized by David Heiserman and made practical by Arnold Trehub is already an accepted part of cognitive science."

Try diagramming that phrase.  At best, it almost completely obscures whatever you were trying to say.  

(My best guess is "but at the level of detail in my model, they both amount to being the same thing", but that much took me ages, and I'm still unsure if that's what you meant.)

Were it better, in any respect, we might call it the inept-to-the-point-of-aphasic documentation of a series of hallucinations.

It's not a model.
It has no explanatory power.
It has no evidence.
It has no consilience with any, let alone all, the evidence we have.
Etc.

Well, that will reduce the number of trolls.
But we've heard this from you before.  How can we miss you if you won't go away?

The funniest part, though, is that you really have no where else to go.  The 'where' doesn't matter, you're wasting time wherever you go.  Yours and others.
You've gotten as much positive support here as anywhere, and exactly the same acceptance of your effluent -- zero.
Doesn't it strike you as even a tiny bit curious, even a tiny bit meaningful, that you haven't been able to convince anyone of your notions?

I have been telling you that for page after page. You are wasting your time with your not-a-theory instead of looking after yourself and your family. You have wasted your time for years by ignoring the evidence against your 'theory', by not providing evidence for your n-a t.  

You have a wife and offspring and grandchildren so abandon your wild obsession and spend the time with them.

Their ideas aren’t bad; they are raw versions of ideas that underlie established research programmes. But those who seek my advice lack the mathematical background to build anything interesting on their intuitions. I try to help them by making connections to existing research. During our conversations, I point them towards relevant literature and name the important keywords. I give recommendations on what to do next, what they need to learn, or what problem lies in the way. And I make clear that if they want to be taken seriously by physicists, there’s no way around mathematics, lots of mathematics. Images and videos will not do.

Nor is the topic even remotely connected to they topic of this thread.  Your work has less to do with any form of psychology than plate tectonics does.  

You're on a roll Gary -- so many posts, so few valid, let alone true, statements or arguments.

All we have to do is a global replace of 'mathematics' with 'Cognitive Science' [or 'biology'] and we've got the perfect picture of a more intelligent and useful version of Gary.

Unusually, unlike most pseudoscience cranks, Gary seems competent at the maths needed for his model.  

Unfortunately, that doesn't extend to anything else.

If he makes a statement in geology or biology, chances are near 100% that he's wrong.

This forum should be discussing a far more serious credibility problem such as:

That is the opinion of someone who has a greater than average understanding of science, and only expects a coherent answer.

Four comments in that thread and only one of them (Da Silva's, not yours) is other than clueless.

This thread is for people to ask you questions about your proposal and for you to answer them, in one place and without space limitations.

Well, so far it's been a lot heavier on the 'people asking Gary about his notions' than 'Gary answering them'.  As everyone except Gary has noticed and remarked on.

Gary has a terrible problem distinguishing questions that flow naturally from his output and trolling.

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.

I had to write a reply to explain why that sort of reasoning does not help program the needed system biology level models:

Plant science is becoming cognitive too:

I see no outpouring of sympathy, for your old ways of thinking.

Hard to finish what you never stared, innit?

But you keep promising (threatening) to go away.  I don't recall any threats of vengeance, certainly not recently.
So, as always, the question is "what on earth are you talking about?"

How can we miss you if won't go away?
