Dear Lash,
This reminds me of the old lateral thinking puzzle: "A man has a
piece of paper upon which is written the winning numbers for next
week's lotto. Yet, even if he played, he'd have no better chance of
winning than anyone else. Why?"
Do you mean A4 or letter? What font size?
Just a small piece of paper with normal-sized writing.
;-)
Ciao,
Bill

Yet, human methods scale much better with problem complexity than
GP does. It occurred to me one of the reasons for that is: humans are
able to frame what they're doing in logic, and use deductions (and
inductions) to prune away large, fruitless areas of the answer space.
Thus, my interest in the "pure logic" approach. (Of course, humans
also use "lossier" heuristics, like the ever-mysterious "intuition."
I figured I'd start with logic since people can at least agree on the
definition of that. :) )
I don't think that humans are that logical. You might enjoy reading
Fauconnier. As for computers, you might check out SOAR and ACT-R.
Will check out. Thanks!
