Eric Baum's WHAT IS THOUGHT?

OK, time to get this blog going!

There's a class this fall at Tufts University—Comp 150-01 "The Evolution of Cognitive Processes"—that i really wish i could take.  It's an interdisciplinary look at Eric Baum's book, What Is Thought?, which i recently borrowed though the local library's virtual catalog and then purchased a copy from Amazon (for only $15, delivered!).

Who knows if i'll have the time or money to attend, but at least i can read the book (and work on C++ implementations of what interests me).  It's pretty good stuff, what i've read so far.

Gives me more stuff to think about when i go running each morning (my meditation time).  Even before starting the book, i'd already begun to work up my ideas of IdeaSpace and ThoughtSpace using words as atoms in an implementation of creativity and dreaming.

Thank you for your patience at my dilatory start to this blog!

Ciao!
