Source details and check notes Authors Donald Michie Version Scan of the 1986 second edition hosted by gwern.net; imprint page and chapter 20 read by the pre-1996 candidate search. Canonical address Open the canonical source ↗ Accessed 2026-10-06 Language English (en) Attribution Donald Michie, On Machine Intelligence, 2nd edn (Chichester: Ellis Horwood, 1986), chapter 20. Reuse No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata and labelled paraphrases only: the inspected scan is a third-party copy whose permission to host is not established. Phrases in quotation marks inside a paraphrase identify the source's wording. Check notes Checked by a reviewer from a different model family on 2026-10-27 on a rendered page, who corrected the locator: the name the preparer matched occurs in early biographical text, not in a byline. Given as a labelled paraphrase because the source records no document length against which a quotation can be checked. Human editorial review is pending. Status and meaning Editorial status.
