Go rules and Spectral equivalence

[Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've been reading the last thread with interest. It seems we all
return to the fundamental questions over and over again. Reading 
the last thread also reminded me of an idea I had about a year ago, 
which has just been lying in my electronic drawer, and I thought
I might just as well share it with you. It's about the rule-set we
use when programming Go, and the possiblity of finding other rule-
sets, which might make evaluation of the game a little simpler, by
incorporating more of the fundamental issues into the rule-set.
Last year I prepared a small document about it, which can be found at

Please don't read the equations too carefully, since I haven't checked
them very much, and there are probably lots of other errors as well.
But the general idea might be interesting. In short, it's a first
attempt
to incorporate life&death into a differential equation, which then
turns non-linear.

Best regards,
Henrik
