lol ... cool acronym. Thanks for putting that link up. There was also a 
few references at the bottom of the article that looked like they just 
might be an interesting read as well ... the juxtaposition of a robot 
navigating by using maths, then inventing a word to describe that point 
is kind of cool, but maybe a bit scary ... it's the beginning of 
bridging the gap between non-creative thinking (learning by wrote) and 
creative thinking (abstract). Can't wait until they start talking about 
us (humans) and inventing words to describe us. Hmmmm ... wonder what 
silly noids is in robot speak.
