“To accurately approach research on a project exploring the progression and cadence of American poet, E.E. Cummings’ 1944 collection, “I X I,” it became clear that one of the few seemingly appropriate ways to “analyze” a poet whose core relation is a belief in love and feeling over thought, would be to create a mode through which I could explore his poetry that would remain true to the poet’s writing.”

Marvin Minsky:

No one finds it surprising these days when we make machines that do logical things, because logic is based on clear, simple rules of the sorts that computers can easily use. But Love, by its nature, some people would say, cannot be explained in mechanical ways — nor could we ever make machines that possess any such human capacities as feelings, emotions, and consciousness…”

“…emotional states are not especially different from the processes that we call ‘thinking’…”(p.6)
