conjecture, probability is a force. - it is the underlying force for self organizing systems. most traits
fall on a distribution curve. it is not useful to talk about a point on the curve. it is only the curve that gives
you information.
if i tell this person is a male of 48 years old.. it leads me to nbelive that you are somewhere between 4foot 5
and 7 foot 10 . I can say no more ( ala wittgenstein). it makes no sense to say otherwise. .
the distributions are relatively constant. in a popualtion. if one individual moves either up or down. it is
most likely that another has the opposite move keeping the distribution constant. even making you happier
means someone else must get sadder
evolution works predominiately on the points on the curve. it is the activitiy ON the curve. shifting the
points locations. the curve may chage over a time period . avenges height moves up, average
intellegvine moves up
The focus on the indivdual is the weak link how do I get happy, is asking how do i move up the curve , but
just as statistical mechanics says little if nothing about a single particle . but we can say much about the group.
biology may present a similar issue
footnote , It is my view that gravity is only a result of probabililty . it is not a force. but a pseudo force. .
like spinning a stone on a string over your head, it creates a pseudo force on the string ( centrifigal ). we are
fooled into thinking otherwise. . simple question
why if i throw a fair coin. many many times will the heads and tails eventually come up in equal numbers. .
probaablity forces it into a 50/50 ratio over time. and is guaranteed in infinite time . but says nothing about
each throw. the coin thinks it has free will. but obviously it doesnt. it beleives that it can be either heads or
tails. it can but it operates under the mysterious force of probabilty
gravity can be measured , but no reason for its existence makes sense.
I really like your self organzing intelligence module idea. I think it is only an outcome of probability.
modules
on a brain issue, I belive that this has led to the formation of what i have referred to as MOBJECTS " mental
objects. " your layers generate proabilities and the more time they take to develop arguably the more
accurate the curve

Yes, the principles are Bayesian, I suspect. Water is a good, hard problem.
Unrelated, I will very much miss the opportunity to teach at MIT, which helped to develop ideas and recruit
students, but I should use the opportunity to get long uninterrupted stretches for writing.
