The collaborative design process ultimately resulting in CogPrime started in 1997 when Intelligenesis Corp. was formed — the Webmind AI Engine created in Intelligenesis’s research group during 1997-2001 was the predecessor to the Novamente Cognition Engine created at Novamente LLC during 200

g of how CogPrime is intended to function, and a detailed understanding of the OCF is necessary for doing concrete implementation work on CogPrime. Marvin Minsky, in a personal conversation with one of the authors (Goertzel), once expressed the opinion that a human-level general intelligence could probably be

The journey began in earnest in 1997 with the design and implementation of the Webmind AI Engine at Intelligenesis Corp., which itself went through a few major design revisions; and then in 2001-2002 the Novamente Cognition Engine was architecte

r qualitative differences. It's true that an individual human mind may be viewed as a collective, both from a theory-of- cognition perspective (e.g. Minsky's "society of mind" theory IMM88I) and from a personality- psychology perspective (e.g. the theory of subpersonalities Illow901). And it's true that
