Detecting design or intent in nature

[The Grand Nudger]

An example too broad to be evaluated. Rhythm's example of a procedural generation for instance. What specific procedural generation is he talking about?

Any, none have a requirement of intellect - by definition. When something is a matter of definition - that's the opposite of ambiguity.
(perhaps you need a definition for ambiguity as well?)

Procedural generation is something so broad it doesn't help us one iota to determine if something requires intellect or not.

It's very finite and well defined, and it -does- help us to determine whether or not something requires intellect. If something is being handled by procedural generation - it doesn't, end of - even if an intellect is present.

If Rhythm wants to claim that evolution is a procedural generation and that ALL procedural generations do not require intellects to be implemented....that is fine.

I didn't claim that, you made that claim. Nevertheless, no procedural generation has any requirement of intellect. Again, it's a matter of definition. That some elements of biological evolution are handled -by- procedural generation doesn't make the whole thing procedural generation...but it is incidentally damning for your claim.

Let him make a case that all conceivable procedural generations do not require intellects to be implemented.

There is only one "conceivable procedural generation" that -is- procedural generation, and procedural generation is defined as something which does not have a requirement of intellect. There is no fucking case you moron - that's what they are, that's how we know we're looking at a pocedural generation, that's what the term refers to.

This cannot be explained more simply to you, or more often.

Anyone with half a brain knows there are implementations of procedural generations that only exist because intellects were here to implement them.

As anyone with half a brain knows that implementation is a different subject entirely - but it doesn't matter..because even though there are implementations which intellects do "create" - there are implementations which intellects do not (and that list of those implementations not created by intellect is vast in comparison - we haven't been using procedural generation for as long as it's existed - which..as far as we can tell....has existed as long as our universe has as a function of logic in a universe where logic is possible).

I knew you couldn't let it go.lol. Too bad, there's no play for you here - you should have done the research before you sunk your argument into it. Lets move on to your other observations..because now that this one is off the list...I'm starting to wonder if you have -any-, and we're still in a position where you have no valid structure for inference -even if you did-. I'm fairly certain your claim can't be salvaged. If it could be, you'd have done so by now. You really needed that spider sim, and even with it, you still had a ways to go before you had a competent argument.
