Not true. 1+1=5 if I am hurried or not paying attention or if I am being an asshole. But if you look at the majority of responses you can see what the truth most likely is.
Conventional spell checks may be better however spelling is not a natural thing for the brain. The mind is continuous. That was the point of Spivey. Spelling is a bad idea. It doesn't matter. Humnas can understand independent of spelling. It is computers that have problems with spelling.
Now that you have gone through the trouble of actually reading some science, you are on your way to understanding how the space in your head functions.
What you should understand is what the dynamic-time warping does - it effectively normailzes the vectors so that they can be matched against each other. That means that the vectors are actually on the surface of a unit hypersphere.
So every mindpixel maximally load immediate memory and each a point on the hypersurface. Do you care to guess how many dimensions at which hypersurface is maximum? Seven. Exactly the digit span of human immediate memory under load [it is four minimally loaded].
To reconstruct human semantic space, all we need do is convert the semantic coherence I measured for nearly 2 million widly distributed points on the maximum hypersurface to range between -1.0 and 1.0 and then multiply each vector by that value and cluster them by vector similarity. Doing so would give a map of human semantic coherence. You could pick any point on the map and convert the vector to symbols easily. But far more interesting is to take an arbitrary proposition, convert it to a vector and interpolate the estimated human semantic coherence. Doing so would allow a machine to respond in a human like fashion to arbitrary propositions. That my friend would be true AI.
Or in short: take your pedantic spelling and shove it.
Nothing is absolute. There is noise in the universe my friend.
Now the very interesting thing about the noise in the mindpixel corpus is it is PINK NOISE! Or 1/f noise! That is the signature of complexity my friend.
Take you absolutes to church because you can't have them in science.
Neanderthal had slightly larger brain volume than we do. I believe this is because they had an extra neocortical layer. This layer I think functioned normally, however I think that because of the problems of mantaining omniconnectivity between the top layer and the thalamus, that an eight-layer total thalamocortical system of neanderthal would have had slightly less hypersurface area and that as a result they had shorter immediate memory.
If you imagine each neocortical layer and the thalamus as dimensions defined by the possibility of local inhabition, and where between layer inhabition is not possible, [except in the special case of the TRN which is really outside the system and acts as a focus control] you can visualize something like this:
Here are eight points in one dimension: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
There are seven steps between 1 and 8.
In two dimensions: 1-2-3-4 5-6-7-8
Now there is much less distance between 1 and 8. This process continues until we get to seven dimensions where it starts to reverse and the points begin again to seperate. At seven dimensions, hypersurface is maximum. It is why PCB boards have no more than seven layers. And I think why IBM's most advaanced NMR quantum computer hit a developmental wall at seven qubits. And it is why I think why your immediate memory is seven digits wide and I think why humans are here and neanderthal is not.
Neanderthal DNA can be compared with the DNA of humans, bats, and cetaceans, all of which have different neocortical lamination counts. I expect something related to the reeler gene will be implicated. Or we may discover a whole new set of lamination controls, all of which I have previously predicted will be sensitive to hypersurface area.
That's the thing about theories - they generate predictions and people figure out how to test them. Amazing how science works, no?

You did not look at the map nor how it was made. This is a continuous vector map. Spelling does not matter. The strings are converted into vectors and the map is organized on vector similarity using dynamic-time warping to normalize the vector lenght. Think what would happen if I used speech synthesis to make a waveform and then mapped the wave from to get an idea what I am saying -- obviously the spelling issues go away and what becomes important is how coherent the waveform is, which is what the truth probability tells us. These really are mindpixels. That why I named the project Mindpixel.
What is important about mindpixel is not the symbols. Your brain does not use symbols. What is important is that for every mindpixel I have a measue of semantic coherence. I am mapping a space of semantic coherence, so of course most points in the space with be--wait for it--incoherent! Where do you think nutty ideas come from? From nutty spaces between good ideas.
Mind is a space. Your memories are points in that space. [actually points on a maximum hypersurface] Mindpixel is a db of 1.6 million synthetic memories from which I will be able to simulate behavior that is completely impossible without these measurements.
Mindpixel is high-dimensional tomography of a high-dimensional space.
You'll see immediately if you follow my very public trail, or you can wait until you read it in the news. Your choice.

Michael Spivey liked the idea of a popular science book called "The Bending of Thought" becuase, well, the effect is accurately described by an analogy with light and gravity.

No. It is what it was measured as. We live in a noisy world. The data is real. Do not think in absolutes. Think of the mind as caccading through a geometry of continuous shades of grey.
0.04 is very week semantic gravity and the chance of you ending up in this attractor basic is well 0.04.
See the space not the stars. Feel the semantic gravity. Thoughts bend!
I confess to taking a lot of LSD while I was studying non-parametric statistics...psychology 4100 with Jim Clarke at the University of Winnipeg.
I also confess that I figured out this project while tripping in that class. Still made Time and Wired and MIT and Cornell agree with me on some very important ideas...and you? What are you doing in your life who ever you are??
I have systems that can correct this by weighting the users according to how they respond to control questions. But that data is not public. If you want that, you have to give me money.
My friends, your mind is a continus substrate. Read Michael Spivey from Cornell. It is a very recently PROVEN fact.
You are looking at samples from a space. People can have weird ideas. Where do you think they come from?
It is the geometry of the space.
Remember, the most fundamental idea of Einstein's theory of gravitation in both the physical and philosophic senses is that the geometry of the universe is determined by the distribution of matter. My Specific Hypergeometric Hypothesis says that immediate memories are points on the maximum hypersurface of a seven-dimensional unit sphere and complex cognition is a trajectory on the same hypersurface. I believe and now have experimental confirmation that mind is a space that is warped by thoughts exactly in the same way that matter warps Einstein's space, except that gravity in the mind is actually Hebbian association. Spivey made the measurements that caught the bending of thoughts by other thoughts in a high-dimensional neural space!! One can't help but be amazed that both Spivey and Eddington measured a kind of bending to confirm a counter-intuitive high-dimensional spatial theory!
Did you know Neanderthal had bigger brains than us?
I predict we will find that the neanderthal genome code for an extra neocortical layer, giving the species an eight-layer thalamocortical loop, and hence less hypersurface area than humans who have a seven layer thalamocortical loop, and thus maximum hypersurface--because everyone knows hypersurface is maximum at seven dimensions. Right?

Well, that was a mistake. You need to learn a little about Self-Organizing Maps and Learning Vector Quantization.

Look at this map:
0 00-english-words.html
http://www.mindpixel.com/chris/2005/06/map-of-100
And try to imagine it made not with words, but Mindpixels.
Do you think it would look random? and be of no use whatsover?? Is that what you think??
Okay. Read his papers. They are on his site. He referes to the book there.
I am not inventing this stuff you know.
Use google.
No. It is what it was measured as. We live in a noisy world. The data is real. Do not think in absolutes. Think of the mind as caccading through a geometry of continuous shades of grey.
0.04 is very week semantic gravity and the chance of you ending up in this attractor basic is well 0.04.

Is the probability of a brain states when you sample 20 random people.
This data self-organizes beautifully with a variation on the DTW-SOM.
But, the reason I posted it, is it is GACs fifth birthday. I donot expect many people to understand what this very large page means.
But you will start to get it when it starts turning up in all your search results.
Yes.
Read The Continuity of Mind by Michael Spivey...oh wait...you cannot it is still in press with Oxford Fucking University.
But you will.
I know where you are...but not who??
I confess to taking a lot of LSD while I was studying non-parametric statistics...psychology 4100 with Jim Clarke at the University of Winnipeg.
I also confess that I figured out this project while tripping in that class. Still made Time and Wired and MIT and Cornell agree with me on some very important ideas...and you? What are you doing in your life who ever you are??
But, what is the tinfoil reference?
Google Harry Jerison - dude famous for brain size/body surface area relationship.
That is true.
I have systems that can correct this by weighting the users according to how they respond to control questions. But that data is not public. If you want that, you have to give me money.

Dude. probabily is 0.04!!
WHICH MEANS FALSE!
I own the copyright on this data dude.
You are looking at attractors in a high-d space. Look at the picture these mindpixels are sampling!
Try to see the geometry!
Think dynamically. Not symbolically!
Read some Michael Spivey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know Neanderthal had bigger brains than us?
I predict we will find that the neanderthal genome code for an extra neocortical layer, giving the species an eight-layer thalamocortical loop, and hence less hypersurface area than humans who have a seven layer thalamocortical loop, and thus maximum hypersurface--because everyone knows hypersurface is maximum at seven dimensions. Right?
GAC is a model of an average person. You have to look at the geometry of the whole forest, not just the funny looking trees.
Play with the data...
For example...pull out the semantic spectrum for aardvark...What is it? What is it not? This information is everything google is missing.
