sign. 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

nic Atoms have natural names. For instance. the Schemallode corresponding to the ele- mentary schema function + may quite naturally be named "+". The NumberNode corresponding to the number .5 may naturally be named ".5", and the CharacterNode corresponding to the character c may naturally be named "c". Thes

his nature that can be effective in this context We have not yet done any sophisticated experiments in this regard - our current experiments using OpenCog to control robots involve cruder integration of OpenCog with perceptual and motor subsystems, rather than the tight hybridization described in Chapt

obabilistic evolutionary program learn- Mg is an effective method The probabilistic evolutionary program learning method we have worked with most in OpenCog is MOSES, and significant evidence has been gathered showing it to be dramatically more effective than genetic programming on relevant classes of p

Atoms. Nodes, math- ematically, can be thought of as "0-ary" links. Some types of Nodes refer to external or mathematical entities (e.g. INordNode, NumberNode); others are purely abstract, e.g. a ConceptNode is characterized purely by the Links relating it to other atoms.
