====== Shannon's Mind Reading Machine ======

An early attempt to create machines that can adapt to changing sitiations by predicting non-random sequennces, D.W. Hagelbarger built his SEER, the ''SEequence Extrapoloation Robot''. Claude E. Shannon seemed to discussed the matter intensively and made a similar machine, based on Hagelbargers copy, smaller and adopting quicker.
