Hi Jack, I looked over the google-docs document on anticipatory machine reading. You might get new insight from reading http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/courses/syntactic-theory-09/literature/MTT-Handbook2003.pdf Sylvain *KAHANE 's* review of Meaning-Text theory. I think you will enjoy the way meaning gets represented there.
Regarding atomspace in java -- it probably would be more productive to just write java bindings for the atomspace. That way, you can just use it -- it works its, functioning and ready to go. There's 71KLOC of code there, and it took years to develop it and get it fully debugged. There's another 49KLOC of unit tests. -- Linas On Thu, May 30, 2019 at 11:41 AM Jack Park <jackp...@topicquests.org> wrote: > Since I have limited experience with c/c++, but some ability to > transliterate other programs to Java, I decided to build a Java version of > AtomSpace solely to better understand how AtomSpace is supposed to work. > The project is far from functional but already is helping me understand > this platform.
