but what about human intellingence, clearly it does not require infinite anything.

also, what about accumulated 'memory' in our human culture? how finite is that? how do you quantify this? (I'd think it'd be quantified by a timestamp, like a reference to an era or an historic age?? shrug)

I think "culture" is the answer.. but maybe I actually mean a free "natural language" (in contrast with a formal (or synthetic) language)

A human does not require infinite memory because most problems the human needs to solve only require finite memory.

But also, a human can easily augment his/her own memory by some pen and paper, or by a computer. That way, a human can solve more complex problems.
