Abstract
IN the account in Nature of October 14 of machines which carry out strategic sequences of moves, it is stated: “No machine can learn from its mistakes—to improve the play the programme must be improved”1. It is, of course, true that a machine cannot learn unless it is provided with a programme or mechanism for learning. But it is quite possible to devise such a mechanism.
