Name Your Top 9 Dragon Characteristics Poll

Come visit my new poll at Dragon Characteristics at PollDaddy.com. This fits into artificial creativity how? Once I have a list of characteristics I can create random dragons from them. And this could be used for more serious polls. as I think of them. Thanks.

If you liked this, I have added a survey of Elf Characteristics at Zoomerang.

Endemes are a Human to Computer Language

One thing artificial creativity needs is a good human to computer language.

Endemes are a vehicle for computers and humans to communicate. They are a potential mutual language for humans and computers. Of course, all computer languages and applications are mututal languages for humans and computers to communicate, but there is something special about endemes. They allow easier communication for both parties. Computers find applications too rigid to say very much or to have much control over. Humans find computer languages too technical and too primitive to be able to say much in them. A lot can be said with endemes, and computers find them simple enough to understand.

Now I need to figure out how to make endemes work with each other, so that humans can say more than a single word with them.

I am a programmer because I want to be able to talk to my computer. But it is still a dumb machine. It doesn't have the ability to talk to me back. Maybe if I built a computer brain based on endemes it could talk to me back. It might look a little like the endeme index I've been building, except that instead of the links in the index showing the best matching endemes in the list it would link to other endemes based on 'knowledge'.

But then I would have to build an 'index-like' structure that included more than just one endeme set. Ultimately it would have to manage and create its own endeme sets.

This is all possible but it's going to take some work.
