Toward an Artificial Jesus: Part 1, the Representation Problem

Much of the world is interested in the sayings of Jesus of Nazareth. Until now, exegesis of his sayings has been based on analysis rather than synthesis. Using the meta-mathematics of formal languages, we can implement automata in an environment consisting of the words and grammar of Jesus and determine new sayings which constitute an important metadata that can aid our understanding of the sayings of Jesus. We present a number of these new sayings, noting that the quality of the sayings decreases as the complexity of the automata increases if there is no learning.
