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

han using a Handle based notation which Atoms would be referred to as 1, 3433322, etc.; but sometimes we will use the Handle notation as well. 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

idual cognitive processes. The CogPrime design gravitates more toward the latter approach. though also with some specific mechanisms within various MindAgents; and efforts have been made to have these specific mechanisms modulated by the generic attention allocation structures and dynamics wherever possibl

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

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

usual, but making use of Metallodes as well as ordinary CT nodes. 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

links that could simply be found by the pattern matcher when trying to find variable assignments to satisfy (El, E2, E3, E4}. 36.4.1 Breakdown into MindAgents To make this sort of PLN dynamic work, we require a number of MindAgents to be operating "ambiently" in the background whenever inference is occurr

y, there may be patterns across large numbers of nodes that merit encapsulation in individual nodes. For instance, if there are 1000 fairly similar ConceptNodes, it may be better not to merge them all together, but rather to create a single node to which they all link, reifying the category that they collect

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,

A common case is that these ConceptNodes fall into clusters, each one denoting a "sense" of the word. The clusters are defined by the following relationships: 1. ConceptNodes within a clus

MindAgents operating primarily on one kind of knowledge (e.g. MOSES, PLN) may for a time seek to follow the shortest paths within their particular correspondin
