fore anyone else was interested in listening. Ken and I schemed some AGI designs at Simon's Rock College in 1983, years before we worked together on the Webmind AI Engine. • Allan Combs, who got me thinking about consciousness in various different ways, at a very early point in my career. I'm very pleased to still co

For instance, PolyScheme, ACT-R and CLARION all display this "modularity" property to a significant extent. These architectures lack the rich, real-time interaction between the intents/ dynam

This predecessor system used a knowledge representation somewhat simi

is one that may be of value for AGI generally beyond the CogPrime design, and is somewhat related to (though different in detail from) the way the CLARION cognitive architecture ISZO-il maps declarative knowledge into knowledge appropriate for its neural net layer.

The collaborative design process ultimately resulting in CogPrime started in 1997 when Intelligenesis Corp. was formed — the Webmind AI Engine created in Intelligenesis’s research group during 1997-2001 was the predecessor to the Novamente Cognition Engine created at Novamente LLC during 200
