Some of us have been discussing the relationship between mathematics
and computation. One particular element of this is how math is a
second class citizen within the web and computing world.
Its tough for me to send you an equation, for example, one with a
standard representation and easily
For all of us, like myself, who know design patterns are important
yet do not yet *really* know them, this site is quite useful:

Not only describes the patterns, but has java/c++ examples.

As I understand it (from nearly three decades of hanging around the
AI people)
That's a wonderful expression of it.
The quest for what 'intelligence' is, as an ideal independent of either
the present human or computational models is nicely vague and inspiring.
Perhaps the growing number of known profound disconnects from reality
displayed by human 'intelligence', such as

Those interested in a "grand theory of human consciousness" will enjoy
Gerald Edelman's "Bright Air, Brilliant Fire." From a perceptive essay: "It
is a grand masterpiece laid out before us of how the matter of the brain is
organized and assembles itself into recursive, intertwining loops of sys
