ertzel_Hanigan_Bach_Epstein_Proposal_2014.pdf Hi Jeffrey, After a bunch of discussion and collaboration, here is a proposal from myself, Cosmo and Joscha, describing some collaborative research work we would love to do over the next 18 months. The basic idea is to "start simple" (while building on so

powerful tools that Joscha and I have built over the last years), and aim to scientifically validate our approach (a subset of OpenCog, including OpenPsi which is modeled on Joscha' Psi/MicroPsi model and which Joscha would like to help evolve further) in the context of a virtual animal....

Toward this end we have come to a similar conclusion to some other researchers (e.g. Joscha Bach and Stan Franklin), and con- cluded that given the strengths and weaknesses of current and near-future digital computers, a (loosely) neural-symboli

A Demand in this context is a quantity whose value the s
