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

This architecture is not yet fully implemented, but is a straightforward extension of the current OpenCog architecture for processing data from game worlds IGEA08], and is scheduled for implementation later in 2013 in the course of a funded project invo

We have one inference control scheme, which is quite simple, but which relies partially on EFTA00624425 36.3 Inference Control in PLN 279 structures coming from outside PLN proper.

New idea creation takes place in OpenCog via a variety of methods - e.g. inside MOSES which creates new program trees, PLN which creates new logical relationships, ECAN which creates new a
