Re: lexical clone
Ah, it's always good to hear from one of the commentariat's resident kooks. Ilya, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else use the phrase "lexical clone" the way you do, but if you have a reference for some text which does, I'd like to read it.
Is it worth pointing out that 1) humans can also be deceived, or that 2) it is not a priori obvious that there is any functional distinction between human intelligence and the universe of possible "artificial models"? Attempts to prove such a difference generally either appeal to untestable attributes or rather suspect arguments about formal power (viz. Penrose).
(Also, I have to say that I skimmed your patent and I'm not sure I see anything very novel there, except perhaps your compatibility formula. Expanding a kernel phrase into a small corpus using synonyms and grammatical transformations is pretty well established in NLP. But I didn't look at it terribly closely.)
