[mod.ai] 2010 and H-Mobius Loops

G.TJM@SU-SCORE.ARPA (Ted Markowitz) (01/28/86)

I've checked my copy of 2010 and reviewed Dr. Chandra's explanation
of HAL's paranoia.  The H-Mobious Loop phenomenon often occurs in
"autonomous GOAL-seeking programs".  Not a bad lay-description of
a program that got confused as to what to do next?
