The Architecture of Jumbo - Reading assignment Part 1 : Relatively short answer 1. Main topical of this chapter is how Jumbo is contested. And because that it represent how humans think and how mind processes. 2. leaning how mind works and its relation with deep perception 3. Herb Simon thinks that Hofstader's method is wrong and thinks that Hofstader is wasting time on trying to find mind at micro time. 4. syntactic-semantic transition zone 5. Mimic the human mind and interact with Jumble 6. Because it's a program that builds gloms from known blocks 7. Learn how human mind works on words and combinations 8. It mimics how human can "juggle" mental representations in their minds 9. He meant that by doing "construct" and "deconstruct" then such back- and-forth motion can crate something that represents human minds 10. a. Biological analogy like a Jumbo, a cell that has its way to produce protein which are like the gloms. First it produces a little then a little more until a protein contractor is finished. b. Sociological analogy the love between two people is like this as well. First they become interest into each other than dating then finally marriage is just like how the mind construct from small to big. 11. Parallelism is a way that a program or a worker is doing two different things at the same time 12. a. Sparks some letters that are more recognizable then other letters, that's what he call sparks b. Affinities some letters that are somewhat feel near to each other than any other letters but not strong enough to be called sparks. 13. Its the code that to be tuned by machine 14. Coderack 15. No it doesn't have to be in a deterministic fashion. They are weighted 16. Yes and it divides a long big process into small short process. Part 2 : Very short answer 1. "4. All of the above" 2. True 3. Cytoplasm 4. True 5. True 6. "3. Both of the above" 7. 1 & 3 8. 2 9. True 10. True 11. True 12. True 13. thinkodynamics = statistical mentalics 14. Parallel terraced scan 15. "3. Hearsay II" Part 3 : More relatively short answer 1. What I think the interesting about the coddlets is that they are very useful to trace the current state of the program and they way they process the program, it essentially can save the running state of the process. 2. I think that coderack as a queue like system that arrange how system interacts with codelets. It can save a lot of time and make systems organized. And the process is being remembered. 3. - Any real word problem can be processed to mimic human mind on machines - like humans some of the work can be done simultaneously - like human minds the machine construct the process from small to big (back-and -forth) - the use of codelets - the use of coderack - it has different weight on different part of the process - cytoplasm
