Is it our viewpoint that creates a system? I mean man-made system here. Natural systems simply exist. We can look at them from a particular viewpoint, but they can exist agnostic of any domain or viewpoint. Can we also construct generic knowledge models / knowledge systems which are agnostic to any domain, but can be adapted to any domain? Do domains have certain things that can never be generalized?
Dear Joachim Pimiskern, knowledge exists for a purpose. Psychologists define learning as relatively permanent change in behavior. In that sense machine learning approaches without teacher and predefined goal may be considered as learning for the time being. But, eventually you need a purpose and goal to assess the learning.
Besides, in what sense we are using the terms 'teacher' and 'learning' because unless we attach some meaning to these terms the discourse does not really go anywhere. However, my question was if a set of domain agnostic primitives / constructs exist across domains and does there exist some knowledge in every domain that can never be generalized.
