Talk:Simulated consciousness

message: This page was previously redirecting to the artificial consciousness page, which presents philosophical arguments about the nature of consciousness in an artificial context. I am aiming that the simulated consciousness article should focus more on the engineering aspects of current and proposed robot and virtual implementations. There may be some overlap between the two topics (artificial vs simulated consciousnes), but I believe there is sufficient material, particularly in reporting researchers' efforts to produce useful simulations, for this to be a separate page. Matt Stan 09:37, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

message: I'm also interested in drawing appropriate distinctions between simulated consciousness and synthesised consciousness. Matt Stan 09:37, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Simulated vs Synthetic

message: In light of PSB's addition: "Artifacts exhibiting real consciousness, if that should ever be possible, would not be simulating consciousness, of course."
My thesis, along, I believe, with mainstream researchers in this field, is that it will only be by making attempts to simulate consciousness that the holy grail of achieving actual machine consciousness might be done. There is, though, perhaps a semantic problem here in that simulations are only ever intended to be simulations, e.g. you don't expect a flight simulator actually to fly. Which is why perhaps the term synthetic consciousness would be better, reflecting the reality that it might be possible to achieve the required end result by different means from what is deemed natural. This, I think, is how the term synthetic is applied in drug manufacture: synthetic insulin is real insulin, but just not acquired from pigs' pancreases. Shall I switch round the main emphasis to synthetic consciousness and abandon simulated consciousness, as the latter now seems to be something of an anachronism? I think the application of Leibniz's law is particularly apt in this context. Matt Stan 07:55, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas de Littleton

message: "the spirit of Norman feudalism than that a tenant of lands should dispose of them by will, we find Littleton directing by his will the feoffees of certain manors to make estates to the persons named in his will. In other words, in order to acquire over lands powers unknown to the common law, the lands had been conveyed to 
feoffees” who had full right over them according to the common law, but who were under a conscientious obligation to exercise those rights at the direction and for the exclusive benefit of the person to whose “ use” the lands were held. This conscientious obligation was recognized and enforced by the chancellor, and thus arose the class of equitable interests in lands. Littleton is the first writer on English law after these rights had risen into a prominent position, and it is curious to find to what extent they are ignored by him."
This text was at the end of the Brittanica article - I could not translate it, if anyone achieves understanding add it to the very end of the Brittanica.--OldakQuill 10:37, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It's referring to the precurser to today's trusts. Littletons left some land to some feoffees (trustees) who would own the legal title to the land but were to control the land for the use of the beneficiaries. The Brittanica author is noting that while Littleton was certainly aware of this developing area of law, it's surprising that he didn't include any mention of it in his text. It's probably not worth putting it back in the article really. Lisiate 22:11, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It is the only usage for a unit of purity in the U.S. I have ever seen. Consult a reputable American English dictionary (such as Merriam-Webster). And in fact, the OED states that it is "obs. exc.

message: It was originally connected to the Troy system, but how many grains were in one carat?
:In the UK, the weight of the carat was determined by the Board of Trade. For much of the 19th century, an ounce troy of 480 grains troy had exactly 151\,\tfrac{27}{64} carats; thus, during this period one carat was exactly 3\,\tfrac{1647}{9691} grains troy (about 205.4094 mg). In 1888, the Board of Trade reduced the weight of the carat so that an ounce troy had exactly 151½ carats; thus, one carat then became exactly 3\,\tfrac{17}{101} grains troy (about 205.3035 mg).
:Kindly note that the carat was also divided into exactly four diamond grains, and that the diamond grain was not identical to the grain troy.
