 To compare is a powerful thing. For machine or human. 
 No two thing have the exact energy state.  So there is always a difference between two compared things.
 In some hyper theoretical world where 5 and 7 are the closet match. Only plus or minus 2. And all numbers are are greater
than plus or minus 3 apart.
 Dead center is 6 and cannot exist in this world but only in are heads.
  Now about reward and anti reward?? To get are bot to do what we want or what it wants or a group to do what is should do
by putting carrot to draw it to a center value or anti reward to push it to a center target That my never exist?:

Hi Keghn.

That Lorenz attractor looks interesting,  but i cant tell what it does from that video.

To compare is powerful indeed,    A basic compare (which is all you need.   and i think its what you were talking about! )  is to simply know  "have i seen this before?"   
If I put "have I seen this before" in a time chain,  you see what comes after what,  and we get the cellular automata playback.

Which is very important to my theory -  and alot of other scientists!
