Idea for a mind

ABSTRACT

"A computer can only do what it's been told to do." Is this really true? The Japanese have made disproving this notion a national objective. One of the best answers to it is still "What if you teach a computer how to think?" The counter riposte might then be "But there are no rules for thinking. The best thinking is inspirational, creative. No one knows How this is done."
