We have a problem where the AI Mind is calling Indicative() two times in a row for no good reason. After a what-think query, the AI is supposed to call Indicative() a first time, then ConJoin(), and then Indicative() again. We could make the governance depend upon either the 840=THINK verb or upon the conj-flag from the ConJoin() module, which, however, is not set positive until control flows the first time through the Indicative() module. Although we have been setting conj back to zero at the end of ConJoin(), we could delay the resetting in order to use conjas a control-flag for whether or not to generate thought-clauses joined by one or more conjunctions. Such a method shifts the problem back to the ConJoin() module, which will probably have to check conceptual memory for how many ideas have high activation above a certain threshold for warranting the use of a conjunction. Accordingly we go into the Table of Variables webpage and we write a description of conj as a two-purpose variable. Then we need to decide where to reset conj back to zero, if not at the end of Indicative(). We move the zero-reset of conjfrom ConJoin() to the EnThink() module, and we stop getting more than one call to Indicative() in normal circumstances. However, when we input a what-query, which sets the whatcon variable to a positive one, we encounter problems.
Suddenly it looks as though answers to a what-think query have been coming not from SpreadAct(), but simply from the activation of the 840=THINK concept. It turns out that a line of "psyExam" code was missing from a SpreadAct() search-loop, with the result that no engrams were being found or activated -- which activation is the main job of the SpreadAct() module. -- http://ai.neocities.org/AiMind.html http://www.amazon.com/dp/0595654371 http://cyborg.blogspot.com/2018/06/jmpj0603.html http://github.com/BuildingXwithJS/proposals/issues/22 ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T7d4ef049c1079ece-Mecbd29a8ca6e95dc7ac2ef18 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups
