All three of the AI Minds (in JavaScript, Forth and Perl) have persistent knowledge by means of conceptual engrams tagged together for knowledge representation (KR). There is a special tru(th)-value tag for indicating an idea that is strongly believed. Currently there is a high tru(th) value only on the idea "GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE", originally expressed by Albert Einstein as "GOTT SPIELT NICHT WUERFEL". Since "Seeing is believing", the AI must wait for embodiment in robots for high truth-values to be set on the basis of visual perception. > ..and going from 3 entities to say 10, 100, 1000 - what is the impact on > responsiveness? > Perhaps the responsiveness will slow down as the program grows larger.

There is a language called Dylan, which is supposed to be "DY(namic) LA(nguage", but I have never learned Dylan. Some parts of the AI, such as learning English or German or Russian syntax, could be made self-modifying by having nine modules for nine parts of speech and by having gradient variables involved with each module so that types of Chomskyan sentences could be strung together in a spiral of learning, including some parts of speech (such as http://ai.neocities.org/ConJoin.html for "conjunction") with a high inclusion-value, and leaving out other parts of speech with a low inclusion-value. > How does it evolve/become more intelligent? > As more and more mental abilities are coded in by the AI mind maintainer -- http://ai.neocities.org/maintainer.html -- the AI becomes more intelligent. Right now as of AI D-Day June 6, 2018 it can reason with inference and answer various what-queries such as "what do you think".These posting of the AI progress to the AI mail-list are my attempt to get other AGI enthusiasts to either create similar AI Minds or to "embrace and extend" one of the three current AI Minds, especially the Perlmind for Web sites or the Forthmind for robots. > What is the mechanism for these minds to share their knowledge, is there > an API or could they just "talk" to each other thru the same interface > humans use to communicate with it? > There is currently no Aplication Programming Interface (API), but better programmers than I could build one in Perl or in Forth. One fellow fifteen years ago made his version of MindForth able to send and receive e-mails, but unfortunately MindForth did not become capable of true thinking until January of 2008. > Could it be trained as an agent, say to act as a sales representative > selling specific goods? > Even the current JavaScript AI could have its innate knowledge base -- http://ai.neocities.org/MindBoot.html -- rewritten or expanded to include information on "specific goods" being offered for sale by a sales agent or a commercial website.

The initial post of this AGI thread was also posted as https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.javascript/IT_ZpzG03iQ/MXvFu0ScAwAJ in comp.lang.javascript on Usenet, as the latest one of four or five such posts. The subReddit http://old.reddit.com/r/javascript is also where I bring the AI to the attention of JavaScript developers, who could easily extend the "basic open source mind framework" by expanding the MindBoot, adding new linguistic algorithms, or porting into other natural languages beyond the current English and Russian. > Is it on github? > Yes, at https://github.com/PriorArt/AGI/blob/master/ghost.pl in Perl and at http://github.com/BuildingXwithJS/proposals/issues/22 where a JavaScript expert has offered to evaluate the AI Mind in JavaScript. An old User Manual at http://github.com/kernc/mindforth/blob/master/wiki/JsAiManual.wiki needs to be rewritten to cover many recent new AI features. > How does it integrate with other AGI efforts, are there distinct modules > to share? > Yes, the "distinct modules to share" are listed and linked in an "AiTree" at the bottom of the http://ai.neocities.org/InFerence.html webpage. > Please explain it as general concepts without specific abbreviated > variable names, module names that have no meaning unless deciphered or > single lines of code - it is aGi after all, not this very narrowness - then > we could all think more about it. > Our AGI list-moderator John Rose helpfully brought up some concerns such as "1. Ancient source code started when variable names were required to be short due to memory constraints, programmer laziness, and/or unprofessional selfishness." True indeed; programmers used to name variables after their girlfriends. In recent decades the polite standard is to use long, understandable variable-names. Two major concerns have limited my AI variables to short names. The chief concern is that the flag-panel for any given concept in the Psy conceptual array often needs to be stored with a line of code containing fifteen variables -- one for each associative tag. If the variabler-names were more than three characters in length, it would be difficult to store a record in the knowledge base (KB). Secondly, the concern is mitigated because the http://ai.neocities.org/var.html webpage describes all the variables and lets the AI Mind Maintainer link from documentation straight to any variable in the var.html "Table of Variables". > It should actually have been self aware enough to have answered all these > questions and more about itself right? > No, because it is still an infant AI. Thanks for asking all the above intelligent questions. I saw the posts from John ROse et al. only as I was uploading the initial post of this thread, and I was too tired from long AI coding sessions to respond until now. Respectfully submitted, Arthur T.
