mportantly, it would adapt to its owner’s personal learning style, strengths, weaknesses, and changing knowledge levels across many fields. It would know what the person needed to learn next, manage the best educational plan, and offer one-on-one tutoring for “just-in-time” skill acquisition.

The Self module offers a second example, which we can use to see how personality capture might become the basis for personality emulation. It consists of 1,600 adjectives, consisting of 800 pairs of opposites, that could describe a person. Respondents rate each adjective in terms of how good or bad it is for a person to have that quality, and in terms of how much they themselves feel the adjective describes them personally. This software offers a general analysis of the individual’s self image, which is a big part of personality, including measures of self-esteem in twenty areas of life. The software also generates lists of good qualities the person feels he or she lacks, and bad qualities he or she possesses, that could be used as guides for self-improvement.

As it happens, the respondent has also written an unpublished book about his family’s history.  I created a fresh computer program that scanned six Burroughs novels plus the family history for the 1,600 adjectives. It turned out that 1,079 of the words appeared in at least one of the books, and the average book included 3,200 instances of the adjectives.
