     1.9 +* Embodiment is a critical component to Intelligence
    1.10 +
    1.11 +* To explore embodiment, we need a world, body, and senses
    1.12 +
    1.13 +* Because of Time, simulation is perferable to reality
    1.14 +
    1.15 +* Video game engines are a great starting point
    1.16 +
    1.17 +* Bodies are composed of segments connected by joints
    1.18 +
    1.19 +* Eyes reuse standard video game components
    1.20 +
    1.21 +* Hearing is hard; =CORTEX= does it right
    1.22 +
    1.23 +* Touch uses hundreds of hair-like elements
    1.24 +
    1.25 +* Proprioception is the force that makes everything ``real''
    1.26 +
    1.27 +* Muscles are both effectors and sensors
    1.28 +
    1.29 +* =CORTEX= brings complex creatures to life!
    1.30 +
    1.31 +* =CORTEX= enables many possiblities for further research
    1.32 +

    1.35 +* Empathy in a simulated worm
    1.36 +
    1.37 +* Embodiment factors action recognition into managable parts
    1.38 +
    1.39 +* Action recognition is easy with a full gamut of senses
    1.40 +
    1.41 +* Digression: bootstrapping with multiple senses
    1.42 +
    1.43 +* \Phi-space describes the worm's experiences
    1.44 +
    1.45 +* Empathy is the process of tracing though \Phi-space
