[agi] Future time-line

Q. What is the likely future time-line of Mentifex AI? A. We can view the future development of Mentifex AI in stages. As of 2018, in Stage One the independent AI scholar Mentifex develops the open-source AI Minds in Perl for webservers, in JavaScript for tutorial purposes, and in Forth for embodi
