Marvin Minsky's “The Emotion Machine” (Habra translation, Round Two)

    image


    Hello, Habr!

    A year ago, we did an excellent job. Koryavyenko, half, but still excellent. The noosphere sent me a signal that it was time to finish it to the end. I thought no one needed this work, but a week ago a famous science-fiction writer-cyberpunker asked me, when will the transfers continue? I replied that the main fighter was taken into the army a year ago and until the transfer is expected. And 10 hours after my reply, I receive a letter: "I returned from the army, ready to resume transfers."

    Theses:

    1. We are born with many mental resources.
    2. We learn to interact with others.
    3. Emotions are different Images of Thinking.
    4. We learn to think about recent thoughts.
    5. We learn to think at various levels.
    6. We are gaining tremendous experience.
    7. We are switching between different Images of Thinking.
    8. We find various ways of representing things.
    9. We build various models of ourselves.
