Facts and Anomalies to Keep in Perspective When Designing an Artificial Intelligence

The design of any artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary pursuit that requires keeping within perspective, the various properties of matter and life in the known universe, while remaining cautious of biases and misconceptions that arise from the limitations of prior learning, available tools and sensory capabilities. This paper curates a vast collection of human knowledge gathered during the process of exploring and questioning the fundamentals of why the mechanisms that constitute life were built in specific ways, and re-questioning those facts using anomalies that sometimes contradict or expose errors in human assumptions of life and intelligence. A meta-analysis of such knowledge at a single glance also helps identify interesting patterns in various phenomena that can in-time, spur creative solutions, alter the direction of research, assist with intelligent inferences and hopefully result in the identification and creation of artificial intelligence.
