Continuous or Discrete - artificial intelligence:

The behaviour of the coming data in from the environment will change how the agent should be programming. In particular, the coming data may be discrete (compose of a limited number of clearly define parts) or continuous (seemingly without discernible sections). Obviously, given the behaviour of computer memory of basic concept (in bits and bytes), even stream video can be shoe-horned into the discrete category, but an intelligent agent will have to domestic because it  have to deal with this as if it is continuous. The mathematics in the agent's programs will differ depending on whether the data is undertaken to be discrete or continuous.
