Now here in Part 2 we plunge deep into the nitty-gritty, and describe the multiple aspects of the CogPr

Agent migration, and machines joining or leaving the CogPrime cluster. So, at the Unit level, attention allocation in CogPrime has two aspects: how MindAgents and Tasks receive attention from CogPrime, and how Atoms receive attention from different MindAgents and Tasks. The topic of this Section is the fo
