This is a perfectly reasonable, time-honored approach to such a problem. In order to apply it, however, you must first HAVE some "black boxes that work". Can anyone point to a single instance of such? It is my impression that many people in AI want to figure out what intelligent behavior is in complete generality before they build the "black boxes that work". I personally think this is the wrong approach. -- Ian Sutherland ian%oravax.uucp@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu Sans Peur
