MindAgents, e.g. - activation affects action selection. For instance this may be effected by a process that, each cycle, causes a certain amount of STICurrency to pass to schema satisfying certain properties (those involving physical action, or terminating rapidly). The amount of currency passed in this wa

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
