Right, Cyc's deductive inference engine does not support probabilistic
reasoning. But there is no obstacle to extending Cyc's probabilistic
vocabulary for the particular representation you want and then using an
inference engine of your own design.
For my AGI project I use the OpenCyc vocabula

If you can't express yourself without gratuitous sarcasm and allegations
like the above, you'll just be ignored.
In fact, you misunderstood pretty much everything I tried to say, so it

I'm no expert on automated reasoning, but wasn't the original Mindpixel

whereas Cyc, from what I understand, doesn't represent facts or rules
probabilistically.

are meaningful.
