[FRIAM] Sensor networks and self-organization

[Phil Henshaw]

My guess it won't happen that soon.  The major hurdle I see is
intelligence doesn't come from passively conforming to an imposed
landscape (Darwin's idea), but from creatively exploring discovered ones
(the living systems idea).   ...I think maybe we're making great
progress, but sort of need to start over with our design principle
reversed!

Yea, how far away would anyone guess it is to the invention of the first
'intelligent' machine?   Do you think it's a matter of one or many
missing discoveries, or just applying current knowledge in a more
complex way?
