MicroPsi's dynamics are a little closer to being a formal neural net model, whereas ECAN's economic fo

The approach presented here begins with two separate Al systems, OpenCog (introduced in Chapter 6.3) and DeSTIN (introduced in Chapter 4.3.1) - both currently implemented in open-source software. Here are the relevant fe
