If, before you started your participation in this wonderful dialogue,
there was a thread on "jargon". Many of our friends are not academics.
Using genotype, phenotype, CAS, replicator, momoeme, and schemata in the
same message is a wee bit beyond the ken of most of us, but as long as
you're here, is there anything in your intellectual storehouse which could
relate the early Marvin Minsky to the "kernels" in the Chomskyan paradigm?
[Host's Note: Yes, If, if you're up to it, how about a translation of
your last msg? I guess this would probably amount to a short tutorial
on the subject. ...Rick]
