Such strategies are currently popular in many artificial intelligence projects. Saint Augustine tells us about Latin etymologies of interest: cogitate <= L. cogitare = think <= L. con + agitare = shake together intelligent <= L. intelligere = understand <= L. inter + legere = choose among This "generate/select" idea is not all that new and radical. Does anybody out in net land know where in St. Augustine's writings this discussion is found? Thanks, Dean Douthat
