However, each of these denotes a large and ill-defined collection of capabilities or features. There is no definite collection of nec- essary or sufficient conditions (nor any disjunction of conjunctions) that can be used to define such terms."

| | Be Careful with Definitions! | By definition, a definition of a phenomenon is useful only if it helps you in your research. So a good definition is fantastic: It advances research and helps with progress towards the goal of understanding a novel phenomenon. But what is the effect of a bad definition? | | | Be Careful with Definitions! | By definition, a definition of a phenomenon is useful only if it helps you in your research.

| | | ...it can really learn //anything//, but it takes the duration of the universe for it to learn each of those things? | Lifetime | |
| | | ...it can only learn one task, but it can get better at it than any other system or controller in the universe? | Generality | |
| | | ...it can only learn one task at a time, and can only learn something else by forgetting what it knew before? | Generality | |
| | | ...it can respond to anything and everything correctly, but always responds too late? | Response Time | |
| | | ...it can learn to do anything //in principle//, but is in principle impossible to implement? | Implementation | |
| | | ...it can learn to do anything //in principle//, but requires as much energy as is available in the whole universe to run? | Implementation | |
| | | ...it can learn and do anything, but it cannot do anything entirely on its own and always requires help from the outside? | Autonomy | |
| | | ...it can learn anything, but it cannot learn whether or not to trust its own abilities? | Autonomy | |
| | | ...it can learn anything, but cannot handle any variation on what it has learned? | Autonomy | |
