Eventually, once a CogPrime instance becomes sufficiently complex and advanced, these cognitive schema may replace the MindAgents altogether, lea

which data and procedure are explicitly identical, and there is just one new active data structure in place of the distinction between AtomSpace and MindAgents Where on this continuum does the "mere learning" end and the "real self-modification" start? In this chapter we consider some mechanisms for "advan

ssumption about the nature of the environments that intelligent agents are operating in. As discussed in roe06] it requires an assumption related to Peirce's philosophical axiom of the "tendency to take habits," which posits that in the real world, entities possessing some similar patterns have a proba

However, MOSES explicitly embodies evolutionary dynamics for the learning of new patterns and procedures that

ing according to Charles Sanders Peirce's theory of semiosis [Pei341, in which there are three basic types of signs: icons, indices and symbols. In Peirce's ontology of semiosis, an icon is a sign that physically resembles what it stands for. Representational pictures, for example, are icons because th

Any further disambiguation is left to be done later, by MindAgents acting on the Atom-sets after they've already been placed in the AtomSpace. • In the old approach, the RelEx2Frame rules attempted, in many cases,
