asic backward step to carry out variable fulfillment queries as well as truth value queries. We may encapsulate these processes in the Atomspace as GroundedSchemallode: BasicForwardlnferenceStep GroundedSchemallode: BasicBackwardInferenceStep which take as input some Atom Al. and also as GroundedSchemallode: Att

Forward chaining, in its simplest form, then becomes: The process of repeatedly executing the AttentionalFor

ue to their involvement in the agent's activities, is because they had their LTI boosted at some point in the past. 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

Informally, the AttentionalFocus is sometimes referred to as the "conscious" mind of a CogPrime system, with the rest of the Atomspace as "unconscious" but this is just an informal
