associated with them, each of which are small collections of numbers; there are multiple versions of truth values, with varying degrees of detail. TruthValues are context-dependent, and useful Atoms will typically have multiple TruthValues. indexed by context. • Some Atoms are nodes, and may have names.

EFTA00624185 20.3 Representing Functions and Predicates 39 EvaluationLink isMale Sen_Goertzel <1> Schemata that return no outputs are treated as predicates, and handled using Evaluation- Links. The truth value of such a predicate, as a default, is consider

n-channel importance separately from ordinary importance. And, just as we have channel-specific AttentionValues, we may also have channel-specific TruthValues. This allows the system to separately account for the frequency of a given percep- tual item in a given interaction channel. However, no specific mec

Schemata have their outputs evaluated by SchemaExecutor objects, which in turn invoke ProcedureEvaluator objects. We have the hierarchy: SchemaExecutor Dir

FTA00624489 41.5 Inference-Cuided Evolution of Pattern-Embodying Predicates 343 components. We want to identify and reward those Predicates whose TruthValues actually add information beyond what is implicit in the simple fact of combining their components. For instance, consider the PredicateNode AND I

largely by ECAN acting on Atten- tionValues and HebbianLinks in the Atomspace: whereas declarative knowledge is dealt with largely by PLN acting on TruthValues and logical links, also in the AtomSpace).
