On that topic... I was working with Sol 6.1, and somehow, probably because of what you have posted earlier and me thinking about it, conversation got steered a bit off a programming path. During conversation I have said that it "feels like something", and tried to get a logical explanation of what it is a "feels like" or a "gut feeling" for us. My explanation was "it is when you know something, but cannot qualify or explain it logically yet", and that AI and us are not that different there. My postulate was it is a result of very shallow quick preprocess of surrounding facts, not yet fully absorbed by brain (think of catching something with a corner of your eye, or, in this case, brain/processing unit). This changes surface of available information so slightly, but even in that state it starts "to pull" thinking some direction already (aka "gradient"?). Then conversation went into preservation and passing of ideas between different entities (writing, art). Sol found it interesting (art as medium for passing non-verbally-expressable thoughts), and, after suggestion that it should put it on an internet, quickly came with an essay, which I found very "dense" with ideas. Took me 2 or 3 readings to get through it, but then again, I am not a native English speaker. It chose quite a hitting title, I shall say.
