Hi Ben, I think this is a great way to give one or more Novamentes the experience it/they need to develop mentally, in a controlled environment and in an environment where the need for massive computational power to handle sensory data is cut (I would imagine) hugely thus leaving Novamente

Ben, I think there's a prior question to a Novamente learning how to perceive/act through an agent in a simulated world. I think the first issue is for Novamente to discover that, as an intrinsic part of its nature, it can interact with the world via more than one agent interface. Biological

Hi Ben, If Novababies are going to play and learn in a simulated world which is most likely based on an agent-based/object-orientated programming foundation, would it be useful for the basic Novamente to have prebuilt capacity for agent-based modelling? Would this in be necessary if a Novababy
