41 ;;Quote: while a chain will break at its weakest link, it is difficult to predict the link
|
42 ;;Quote: statements about individuals and classes are different logical types; hard to predict one from the other
|
44 ;;Quote: convergent sequences are predictable because they concern immense crowds or classes of individuals
|
45 ;;Quote: need some sort of selective machinery to pluck the new idea or structure from the random; otherwise would not persist
|
46 ;;Quote: a meaningful message or regularity requires a complementary skill to recognize it; as evanescent as the pattern itself
|
48 ;;Quote: evolution and learning lead to overpacked ecologies and minds; the egg clears the memory banks of the species
|
49 ;;Quote: quantity is approximate; you can never have exactly three gallons of water
|
82 ;;Quote: a mirror image reverses front and back, not right and left; e.g., top and bottom not reversed
|
99 ;;Quote: information is difference that makes a difference; meaning depends on relations with other parts of the world
|
119 ;;Quote: invoke experimental neurosis by gradually increasing the difficulty of making a discrimination
|
124 ;;Quote: the purpose of exploration is to discover information, so shock while exploring is information instead of punishment
|
149 ;;Quote: the two great stochastic systems are learning and evolution; the unity of the combined system is necessary
|
167 ;;Quote: while vertebrate embryos are very similar, beetle larvae vary widely
|
184 ;;Quote: the difference between evolution and learning is similar to the different between digital and analog or name and process named
|
184+;;Quote: name vs. process that is named is similar to digital vs. analog
|
185 ;;Quote: there must be generative process whereby a class is created before it is named
|
229 ;;Quote: a name is a different logical type than the thing named
