The Neural Net and the Mind

We can think of just taking the trained mind we've created and explicitly modifying it, then seeing what it now imagines. We'll still normally get a network that can generate images, but in some sense it'll be thinking differently. So potentially the images will be different. And there we have our cat made with progressive image processing. Okay. Well, we can think of what we've done so far as exploring what a mind trained from human-like experiences can imagine by generalizing from those experiences. But what might a different kind of mind imagine? It's very rough approximation.
