, dealing with with a variety of general conceptual issues related to the engineering of advanced AGI, as well as presenting a brief overview of the CogPrime design for Artificial General Intelligence. Now here in Part 2 we plunge deep into the nitty-gritty, and describe the multiple aspects of the CogPr

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

Where S is a Schemallode, Graph(S) (x,y): ExecutionLink S x y ) Sometimes, the graph of a Sche

scribed earlier. When an Atom is encountered, it looks into the AtomTable to evaluate the object. In the case that a Schema refers to an ungrounded Schemallode (that is not defined by a ComboTree as defined in Chapter 19), and an appropriate EvaluationLink value isn't in the AtomTable, there's an evaluatio

49.6 Cognitive Processes 481 CogPrime's multi-memory design, it's natural to consider CogPrime's cognitive processes in terms of which memory subsystems they focus on (although, this is

by the quest of figuring out which procedures can be expected to achieve a certain goal in a certain sort of context. • Grounded Schemallode: See Schemallode, Grounded. • Hebbian Learning: An aspect of Attention Allocation, centered on creating and updating HebbianLinks, which represent the simultaneous

concepts in one of Douglas HoEstadter's books. Naturally, real concept heterarchies are far more large, complex and tangled than even this one. In CogPrime, ECAN enforces heterarchy via building SymmetricHebbianLinks, and PLN by building SimilarityLinks, IntensionalSimilarityLinks and ExtensionalSimilar

plementation, the system can still reason about its use of different mind dynamics by considering each MindAgent as a virtual Procedure with a real Schemallode attached to it. This can lead to some valuable learning, with the obvious limitation that in this approach the system is thinking about its MindAgen
