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

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

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

learned. 25.3.2 Schema Execution Finally, schema execution is handled similarly to truth value evaluation, but it's a bit simpler in the details. Schemata have their outputs evaluated by SchemaExecutor objects, which in turn invoke ProcedureEvaluator objects. We have the hierarchy: SchemaExecutor Dir

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

s of word sense creation. Suppose we have a WordNode W that has ReferenceLinks to a number of different Con- ceptNodes. 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
