	Artificial mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Artificial mythology (compare artificial language) is any invented mythology that, rather than arising out of centuries of oral tradition, are penned over a short period of time by a single author or small group of collaborators.
		Artificial mythology can be created entirely by an individual, like the world of Middle-earth, or can be formed as a result of an amalgam of writings, like the Cthulhu Mythos.
		Works of artificial mythology are often treated as normal works of fantasy or science fiction, but many hardcore fans relate to them as if these worlds were real.

		Medea is a character from Greek mythology who ran off with a wimpy little man called Jason, who is most well known for being a dirty no-good thief.

		Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that studies the computational requirements for tasks such as perception, reasoning, and learning, and develops systems to perform those tasks.
		The name ``artificial intelligence'' dates only to the 1950's, but its roots stretch back thousands of years, into the earliest studies of the nature of knowledge and reasoning.
		Intelligent artifacts appear in Greek mythology; the idea of developing ways to perform reasoning automatically, and efforts to build automata to perform tasks such as game-playing, date back hundreds of years.

		In modern usage, "mythology" is either the body of myths from a particular culture or religion (as in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology or Norse mythology) or the branch of knowledge dealing with the collection, study and interpretation of myths.
		Myths are generally narratives passed down traditionally intended to explain the universal and local beginnings ("creation myths" and "founding myths"), natural phenomena, inexplicable cultural conventions, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself.
		This broader truth runs deeper than the advent of critical history which may, or may not, exist as in an authoritative written form which becomes "the story" (Preliterate oral traditions may vanish as the written word becomes "the story" and the literate become "the authority").

		My paper seeks to unpack his artificial mythology by focusing on the peculiarities of the networks as artworks he seeks to create.
		The people who participate in the transactions accept the bills as drawings, and correctly consider the artworks as more valuable than the face value of a Boggs' Bill; so, the transactions are not exactly counterfeiting, but the United States' courts have considered the bills themselves as counterfeit bills.

		Artificial Intelligence is based in the view that the only way to prove you know the mind's causal properties is to build it.
		Those such as Moravec, who see the eventual result as the universe extending to a single thinking entity as the post-biological human race expands to the stars, base their views in the idea that the key to human consciousness is contained entirely in the physical entity of the brain.
		Sentences known as recursive, or left or right-branching such as The monkey that the lion who had eaten the zebra wouldn't eat ate the banana, have an infinite capacity for embeddings, allowing for the vastly superior memory of the computer to be more effective in parsing them.

	Other Voices 1.2 (September 1998), Joshua Schuster, "The Manifesto"
		Saper says it well: "The logic involved in artificial mythologies depends on forgotten connections, on impropriety, and on truth as an expirement." (29) In these connections as detours, Saper argues, we may very well find the answers (or at least pointers) to even the most serious of public problems.
		If Saper argues artificial myths serve to make the familiar strange, he misses out on the paradoxical momentum of advertizing, which firsts posits the object for sale as strange, unique and original, then inverts that scheme to promise that the object is quite ordinary, necessary to everyone and familiar once you buy it.
		Saper needs to take that next step which shows how the artificial is so readily absorbed into regular activity (not to insist that the faux is the real a la simulacra, but to point out how readily we incorporate the bizarre and the obviously fake into our daily "genuine" lives).
