a program can learn by putting a counter which increases with each fact stored in the database. i have named it the respect counter. the program always aims to increase this counter which will in-turn enable it to store facts voluntarily. the problem with this logic is its implementation using normal mathematical logic.

Example :

when encountered with the equation x=1+1, WHAT will encourage the program to find out the value of x ? :)

interesting.... isnt it ? the desire to learn being represented by a mathematical equation. i have a feeling its just out there.....
