1 * Brainstorming different sensors and effectors.
2
3 Every sense that we have should have an effector that changes what
4 that sense (or others who have that sense) experiences.
5
6 ** Classic Senses
7 | Sense | Effector |
8 |------------------------------+---------------------------------|
9 | Vision | Variable Coloration |
10 | Hearing | Speech |
11 | Proprioception | Movement |
12 | Smell/Taste (Chemoreception) | Pheremones |
13 | Touch | Movement / Controllable Texture |
14 | Acceleration | Movement |
15 | Balance (sense gravity) | Movement |

17
18 - New Senses/Effectors
19 - Levitation
20 - Telekenesis
21 - control of gravity within a certain radius
22 - speed up/slow time
23 - object creation/destruction
24
25 - Symbol Sense
26 Where objects in the world can be queried for description /
27 symbols.
28
29 - Symbol Marking
30 The ability to mark objects in the world with your own descriptions
31 and symbols.
32
33 - Vision
34 Distinguish the polarization of light
35 Color
36 Movement
37
38 * project ideas
39 - HACKER for writing muscle-control programs : Presented with
40 low-level muscle control/ sense API, generate higher level programs
41 for accomplishing various stated goals. Example goals might be
42 "extend all your fingers" or "move your hand into the area with
43 blue light" or "decrease the angle of this joint". It would be
44 like Sussman's HACKER, except it would operate with much more data
45 in a more realistic world. Start off with "calestanthics" to
46 develop subrouitines over the motor control API. This would be the
47 "spinal chord" of a more intelligent creature. The low level
48 programming code might be a turning machine that could develop
49 programs to iterate over a "tape" where each entry in the tape
50 could control recruitment of the fibers in a muscle.
51 - Make a virtual computer in the virtual world which with which the
52 creature interacts using its fingers to press keys on a virtual
53 keyboard. The creature can access the internet, watch videos, take
54 over the world, anything it wants.
55 - Make virtual insturments like pianos, drumbs, etc that it learns to
56 play.
57 - make a joint that figures out what type of joint it is (range of
58 motion)
