Subject: info on Lisp Machines
We are about to embark on an ambitious AI project in which we hope
to develop an Expert System. The system will be written in Lisp
(or possibly Prolog) and will employ fuzzy logic and production
rules. In my role as equipment procurer and novice Lisp programmer,
I would like any information regarding Lisp machines, eg, what is
available, how do the various machines compare, etc. If this topic
has been discussed before I would appreciate pointers to the info.
On the software side, any discussions regarding fuzzy systems would
be welcomed. Thanks.

Subject: Rational Psychology
Article-I.D.: drufl.670
Norm,
Let me elaborate. Psychology, or logic of mind, involves BOTH
rational and emotional processes. To consider one exclusively defeats
the purpose of understanding.
I have not read the article we are talking about so I cannot
comment on that article, but an example of what I consider a "Rational
Psychology" theory is "Personal Construct Theory" by Kelly. It is an
attractive theory but, in my opinion, it falls far short of describing
"logic of mind" as it fails to integrate emotional aspects.
I consider learning-concept formation-creativity to have BOTH
rational and emotional attributes, hence it would be better if we
studied them as such.
I may be creating a dichotomy where there is none. (Rational vs.
Emotional). I want to point you to an interesting book "Metaphors we
live by" (I forget the names of Authors) which in addition to discussing
many other ai-related (without mentioning ai) concepts discusses the
question of Objective vs. Subjective, which is similar to what we are
talking here, Rational vs. Emotional.
Thanks.

Subject: Bibliography (parallelism and conciousness)
David Rogers asked me if I could send him some of my ``favorite''
readings on the subject ``parallelism and conciousness.'' I searched
through my list, and came up with several references which I think
might be interesting to everybody. Not all of them are directly
related to ``parallelism and conciousness,'' but nevertheless...
