Once you
begin analyzing a statement that is important to you the

is an example of logic but it is not an example of Boolean Logic but
of applied logic, the application of logic to a situation in which the
possibilities belong to categories that can stand out in stark relief.
Even if the possibilities (of the expectations) are not logically
rigid, logical systems can still be formed to explore the
possibilities.

Sounds like the description of applied logic is very much like the
"frames" approach that Minsky discusses in his book Society of the
Mind. In essence you have expectations / rules that are appropriate for
the situation and use those rules to help with discernment. The "story
lines" act more like triggers that are matched up to the frame knowledge
that you already have.
As I understand it, character recognition has improved because the
"frame" for where words belong has improved - there are rules that
increase the likelihood that a character will be one of ...
I've not looked at the code, or the technology, but seems like this has
been discussed before on this list. Would have been interesting work to
be involved in OCR over the years.
Frames brings up the point that I wanted to make about "adoption." One
invests time and uses resources to build frames - become knowledgeable.
It isn't that you have to invent the rules, you just need to recognize
them and incorporate them. Rules could come from several sources
including a question and answer session with a knowledgeable person. I
believe that the intelligence is not in what you know, but that you know
enough to seek out a source, inquire in the right way and then know what
to do with the rules that you collect. One issue with AGI is finding
the best way to format the collection so it can be used in an
interesting way. Another issue is getting started in the right direction
- going for frames that can help build other frames.
The show stopper for me is that there is a bunch of coding to be done
and the progress will be slow.
