I had heard of it, but had yet to read up on it, after breifly reading a bit here, the main pages, and the first tutorial, I am duly impressed with its abilities. Though leary of having to download and work with a large complex package it apepars to be.
Have you or anyone else downloaded and played with the application suite, or have any more insights into its working that we may compare contrast it with the Novamente project?

I have also invited a person from Soar to join the discussion.
One goal of mine is to produce a very simplistic web interface, similar to the uses of Open Mind Common Sense, that is easy to get in, edit, and possibly use the agent, and add to the knowledge bases, and possibly open it up to a large section of the internet for supervised learning input.

If a long term plan would be made only formulated in terms of (very concrete) microlevel concepts there would be a near-infinity of possible plans, and plan descriptions would be enormously long, and would contain a lot of counterfactuals, because a lot of details are not known yet (causing another combinatiry explosion). If you wanted to go to Holland and made a plan like: move leg up, put hand on phone, turn left etc etc Planning would be unfeasible. Instead you make a more abstract plan, like: order ticket, go to airport, take plane, go to hotel. You formulate it on the right level of abstraction.

Each level of abstraction is tied to a certain time scale. A plan, and a prediction have a certain (natural) life time that is on the time scale of their level of abstraction.

They seem to have focused on the issue of complex planning right from the beginning.Ben: If you have the time, I wish you can explain the key differences between Novamente and Soar. I'd be glad to work with Novamente if it has some nice features that Soar is unlikely to have in the (near or medium) future.YKY
