I think you may be suffering from techno-aphasia. The technical terms you use don't fit what you're saying, and you're making us all suffer. It would be great if you could describe it to us as you would describe it to a six-year-old child. We all here have the best of intentions for every Ruby-ist, but we all agree on what a block is, what bootstrapping means (A way to kickstart a system because it can't start on its own, but will run on its own happily afterwards), and what a 'black box' is in technical terms. I think you may be using the term 'black box' in the aeronautics term. ** See.. it's part of the issue - no one here knows which vocabulary you are using, so we have no idea what anything you say means. ** -- Aldric PS: > ummm, i taught my heathkit to play tic-tac-toe on its octal keyboard. > yup, then charged into checkers and couldn't beat it but like tic-tac- > toe it would not make a mistake so games ended in ties all the time. > charged into chess and got totally humiliated :) but then that's how i > learned something in 1978 or so. If this does not mean "In 1978, I taught to play Tic Tac Toe, then taught it to play Chess and it beat me", then I don't know what it means. Mind you, I'm skipping over the part where you taught an AI to play Checkers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
