Computational Dreaming

Intelligence

results from a dream phase that facilitates creativity and imagination

requires parallel structure that utilizes multiple, independent models for the same set of inputs

DALI (Dream Architecture for Lateral Intelligence)

a dream phase plays back daily inputs utilizing multiple, overlapping models of computation that operate in nearly perfect parallelism

one is selected for the next day's inputs for the same situation

thus modeling consciousness and sub-consciousness

All mammals must dream each diurnal cycle

despite threats to survival for shutting off inputs

Dreaming

is crucial to intelligence as well as the key to the way the brain harnesses levels of parallelism that vastly exceed that of computers
