Generate state-action-reward triples en masse and directly model the q-value function. Add Monte Carlo Tree Search.

AlphaGo cost google around $35 million, it may be hard to reproduce that success. But, could I make it do something reasonable?

A vector space representing linguistic phonotactics across languages.

Given a set of phonemes in a language’s phonemic inventory, but with N removed, predict which N phonemes are missing.

Turn the weights used in the prediction into a vector.

Then generate random vectors and convert them back into phonemic inventories somehow.

Flattening a vocabulary to a single number (word ID) such that the distance between ID’s best approximates the semantic distance between the words.

Initialize:

1. start with a random word, assign it to ID 0
2. for the next ID, assign the word most related to the previous word but which has not been output yet
3. repeat until all words have been mapped to an ID

Refine:

1. Propose a random swap between a pair of word->ID mappings
2. If the random swap results in a reduced divergence between distances in ID space and in semantic space, make the swap
3. Proceed until convergence

In addition to the features outlined for Concept: Maximum Basic Goodness 2:

• A hierarchy of jurisdictions to which humans can subscribe or belong. For example: United States -> Washington -> King County -> Seattle -> District 6

• Taxation: jurisdictions declare tax policy which is implemented by the system. For example: on a monthly basis, all human accounts are taxed .1% on amounts over $20000. All other accounts are taxed .1% on all amounts. All tax revenues accrue instantly to the jurisdiction’s treasury.

• Privacy policy: for example, for all account pairs for which net daily transfers exceed some threshold, all transactions pertaining to the pair will be public; all other transactions will remain private.

• Campaign finance: with jurisdictions, elections occur according to a schedule. For each election, there is a registration period for campaigns to declare themselves. After the campaign season commences, donations to campaigns are accepted from human accounts only. Donations above a certain limit are ignored. Donations above a certain limit are made public.

• Wealth distribution: make explicit policies for wealth redistribution instead of implying it through various programs.

• Maximum code size: prohibit “law” above a certain complexity. (But how do you set the limit appropriately?)
