Hi,
thanks for the explanation - very helpful :)
You're welcome.
1. You've mentioned a couple of times that the atom class is obsolete. Do vtrees now essentially fulfill all the tasks expected of the atom class in PLN, such that it's just a matter of replacing atoms with vtrees in most places (and maybe making a few changes to the methods called etc.)...
Yes, but they require more of context-specific handling because they don't have any internal automation.
2. Where does weak_atom fit in the scheme of things? is it also obsolete or does it still have use?
It is still used. The name is kind of inappropriate, I think "weak" referred to the notion of "embodies the atom Handle but not the outgoing tree".
weak_atom is essentially a vtree with bindings. Note these: typedef weak_atom<Vertex> BoundVertex; ... struct TableGather : public std::set<weak_atom<Vertex> > -A _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~opencog-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~opencog-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
