The inflected languages German and Russian are so different from English, that the Mentifex AI Mind has to be coded more intricately for Russian at http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/Dushka.html than for the English-language version at http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/AiMind.html also in JavaScript for Microsoft Internet Explorer. > Note that I got Dr. Eliza working in German with > NO recoding, other than installing any new "hooks" > into the engine that may be needed for rules to be > able to handle a new language.

In a similar fashion, I got the AiMind.html working in English without realizing that the basic AI code really needed to be more intricate in order to handle BOTH Russian and English properly. What I was so excited to realize a few days ago while coding the Russian AI, was that I would never have realized what was necessary if I had continued coding AI only in English and if I had not made a detour duing 2012 into Russian AI coding. > > It sounds like you have too much of the logic in code, > and not enough of the logic in the rules. > > Steve Dr. Eliza may have rules for what she does with the information in her knowledge base, but Dushka in Russian is the basic mechanism of the knowledge base. A Mentifex AI Mind either retrieves an idea from the preterite knowledge base, or uses a sense like vision to supply a conceptual ingredient during perception. Therefore I recently on 19 September 2012 had to expand the Russian bootstrap "RuBoot" vocabulary with the present-tense forms of the Russian verb that means "to see", so that I could prepare the implementation of the VisRecog mind-module for visual recognition. Since I do not know how to hook JavaScript up to a camera for sensory input, the Russian AI code for sensory input and its linguistic permutations will have to serve mainly as a point of departure for whoever takes the http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/Dushka.html Russian AI and implements it in a robotic language. Meanwhile the codebase of the Mentifex AI Minds is taking shape in conformance with the principles of mind-design that became obvious only during the effort to create a Russian artificial intelligence.
