2. 5 Interrelated themes  Artificial Volition-Art. Emotion – Art. Consciousness – Art. Intelligence –ALife  Work started in UK ( “Applied Endophysics Ltd” 2001-2003 )  MoD Report on “Unmanned Vehicles” 2002  Accomplishment: “Universal Lexicons Theory” – A unified theory of information production, transmission and dissipation based on Number Theory

3. The AVE Module (Artificial Volition Engine)  Traditional A.I. fails to understand Volition (“will”) based on desire  Recent advances in Robotics – 5-Dim Personality Model – Emotions Generator (Waseda University)  Predescessor: PROLOG based Goal- Planning for Autonomous Agents  Need to introduce Non-linearity and Non- stationarity – Game Theoretic Approaches

4. The Symbolic Transform  UL theory allows to find new information measures and functional indices for image compression and classification.  The purpose would be to be able to categorize faces or other objects by a bunch of unique complex vectors. Other interesting properties of this indexing scheme are currently under investigation

5. Turn a Face to a Signal! Input : N x M Image Matrix Output : 1-Dim Signal You can even hear what your face “sounds” like!
