on an Alternative Representational Approach We briefly pause to contrast certain technical aspects of the present approach to analogous as- pects of the Webmind AI Engine (one of CogPrime's predecessor Al systems, briefly discussed in Chapter 19.1). This predecessor system used a knowledge representation somewhat simi

And after these Atoms leave the AttentionalFocus and their STI reduces, they will have boosted LTI and hence likely remain in RAM for a long while, to be involved in "background thought", and in c
