How can we define complexity?
#7
RE: How can we define complexity?
Yeah. I wouldn't declare anything unknown to be IMPOSSIBLE.

The probability (or improbability) of the matter is in question here I think.

Hard to for see the advancement of the future.

I can see the side that everything is progressing exponentially and robots could advance to the point that they could create themselves - and maybe somehow someday, providing humans are still around to see it - they are able to surpass humans in complexity.

But then I can also see that how can anything mechanical surpass anything biological in the matter of complexity? I certainly wouldn't say its impossible though. I think to declare it impossible would actually be the fallacy of the argument from personal incredulity.

What about cybernetic organisms? As a hypothetical possibility for the future? Biology and mechanical robotics mixed together?

In the words of Arnie "I'm a cybernetic organism..." Tongue

What about that? Could have best of both....could be totally impossible.

P.S: Although I do think I saw a documentary how it DOES work already to a very small extent so...could build up from there.

I saw that people can have like some kind of mechanical in plants in their brain (as an implant) to help with certain medical conditions or something.......but then whether people will ever be able to interact with their mechanical, robotic, parts - I don't know. Does it require any interaction between the brain and the implant I wonder? Hmm.

Anyway, thoughts? What about cybernetics?
