ges 51 Our goal in this chapter Ls to provide practical techniques for approximating the ideal pro- vided by algorithmic probability, based on what Pei Wang has termed the assumption of in- sufficient knowledge and resources tWan061, and assuming an AGI architecture that's at least vaguely humanlike in n

sign. No doubt it will evolve in some respects as implementation progresses; one of the principles kept in mind during the design and development of OpenCog was modular- ity, enabling substantial modifications to particular parts of the framework to occur without requiring wholesale changes throughout th

y different yet both appear cognitively necessary. The argument for using probability in an AGI system is assailed by some AGI researchers such as Pei Wang, but we are swayed by the theoretical arguments in favor of probability theory's mathematically fundamental nature, as well as the massive demonstra

his nature that can be effective in this context We have not yet done any sophisticated experiments in this regard - our current experiments using OpenCog to control robots involve cruder integration of OpenCog with perceptual and motor subsystems, rather than the tight hybridization described in Chapt
