Notes

  1. 1.

    By the way, it is easily to imagine the respective processes of learning how to estimate the correct angle when diving or thrusting a spear into the water as a process of supervised learning , realized by the application of the enforcing rule (see above Chapter 4).

  2. 2.

    We mentioned Occam’s Razor when comparing the general learning rule schema with the set of different established learning rules and argued that this methodical principle is an argument in favor of our schema. The same argument is certainly valid with respect to the construction of AI -systems.

  3. 3.

    One of the chief protagonists of the Android research program, namely Ishiguro, even constructed a first robot that looks very much like his constructor. Ishiguro though gives no information if the robot also resembles its creator in other aspects.

  4. 4.

    Several years ago there existed numerous attempts to introduce as a parallel to the IQ a so-called EQ, namely an “empathy quotient”. It was not by chance that these attempts soon vanished.

  5. 5.

    “Environmental” is to be understood in the sense that most of the body is environment to the brain and mind .
