Measuring progress in the field of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) can be difficult without commonly accepted methods of evaluation. An AGI benchmark would allow evaluation and comparison of the many computational intelligence algorithms that have been developed. In this paper I propose that a benchmark for natural world interaction would possess seven key characteristics: fitness, breadt...

This paper presents equations for the electron density of two-dimensional gas (2DEG) in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures three realistic scenarios: (1) heterostructure with surface exposed to ambient mobile ions, (2) metal gate deposited on AlGaN surface, and (3) a thick dielectric passivation layer surface. To derive equations, we analyzed these scenarios by applying Gauss’s law. In contrast idealis...

In his late ‘A Plea for Excuses’, John L. Austin suggests labelling philosophy ‘linguistic phenomenology’. This article examines which idea of phenomenology had in mind when he coined this term and what light sheds on method. It is argued that the key to answering question can be found Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology Perception, must have been familiar with. Merleau-Ponty presents a way could emb...

Purpose This paper aims to examine the antagonistic coexistence of different tourism imaginaries in global post-viral social landscapes. Such antagonisms may be resolved at expense ethics mobility, if not adjudicated by post-human reflexivity. Currently, unreflexive behaviours involve refusal conform lifesaving “stay-at-home” policies, tendency book holidays and public inspection death zones. D...

People are motivated to behave selfishly while appearing moral. This tension gives rise to 2 divergently motivated selves. The actor—the watched self—tends to be moral; the agent—the self as executor—tends to be selfish. Three studies present direct evidence of the actor’s and agent’s distinct motives. To recruit the self-as-actor, we asked people to rate the importance of various goals. To rec...

In this paper, we delimit the moments in which, “Doctrine of Similar” and “On Mimetic Faculty”, reading Sprache (speech, language, language) are inseparably linked to category “non-sensuous similarities.” conception, analogical-proportional representation traditional mimesis is dislocated by a rhetorical conception symbolic experiences given different semiotic forms. Moreover, idealist ground r...

The availability of commercial quality, free software products such as the Apache HTTP (web) server or the Linux operating system has focused significant attention on the open source development process by which these products were created. One of the more perplexing aspects of open source software projects is why developers freely devote their time and energy to these projects. While many open...

Criminal justice is inextricably associated with the attributive concept of volition. Although the voluntary-involuntary distinction is subjectively vivid, causal research shows its poles to be inseparable, i.e., the dichotomy is deceptive. Why a bulwark of civilization should be founded on paradox, may be clarified by examining the role of self-deception in man's evolutionary heritage. Natural...

In this study, the notions of homelessness and unhomeliness are studied in 2 novels by Naipaul: Half a Life (2001) and Magic Seeds (2004). Naipaul has been viewed by many postcolonial critics as an imperially complicit writer, for his controversial views of places and societies, particularly his disdain for non-Western societies. This study examines whether the imperatives of the postcolonial c...

The concept and experience of community have been changing in contemporary societies, from a traditional an idealistic, homogeneous context, characterized by union, to the exploration new forms organization participation. specific characteristics dynamics emerging video game (VG) communities can help us better understand importance cultures. Based on ethnographic study five jams data eight focu...
