Hi group,
I'm starting an AGI project called G_0 which is focused on commonsense
reasoning (my long-term goal is to become "the world's leading expert
in common sense"). I plan to use it to collect commonsense knowledge
and to learn commonsense reasoning rules.
One thing I need is a universal lo
Given that Cyc has accomplished far more in the logical encoding of
common sense than any other project, starting with OpenCyc and
building from there would seem to suggest itself as the obvious course
of action. Am I missing something?

Hi YKY,
Can you explain what is meant by "collect commonsense knowledge"?
Playing the friendly devil's advocate, I'd like to point out that Cyc seems
to have been spinning its wheels for 20 years, building a nice big database
of 'commonsense knowledge' but accomplishing no great leaps in AI. Cyc'

That means collecting facts and rules.

Example of a commonsense rule: "if X is female X has an

odds with the usage that appears in the Jargon File.

Cyc already has loads of these rules.
If you have a problem with Cyc's format, I **strongly** suggest that you
first
play around
