Some ConceptNodes and conceptual PredicateNode or Schemallodes may correspond with human-language words or phrases like cat, bite, and so forth. This will be the mino

MemberLinks. This is in accordance with the notion of glocal memory, in the language of which the HPAN attractors are the maps and the corresponding ConceptNodes are the keys. Put simply, when a HPAN attractor is recognized, MemberLinks are created between the HPAN nodes comprising the main body of the attra

cedure Learning as Program Learning 30.1 Introduction Broadly speaking, the learning of predicates and schemata (executable procedures) is done in CogPrime via a number of different methods, including for example PLN inference and concept predicatization (to be discussed in later chapters). Most of thes

The modeling of Metallodes is quite similar to the modeling of Nodes representing ConceptNodes and PredicateNodes using embedding vectors. In this way, one can use standard, small decision tree models to model fairly large portions of CTs (be
