Another correction: "strength" is never used in any NARS publication. It was used in some Webmind documents, though I guess it must be your idea, since I never like this term. ;-) > The exact formulas used in NARS are basically heuristics derived based > on "endpoint conditions", so replicating those exact formulas is really > not important IMO... the key would be replicating their qualitative > behavior... I have to say that I don't like the term "heuristics", neither, since it usually refers to "quick-and-dirty" replacement of the "real thing". I fully agree with you that what really matters is the qualitative behavior, rather than the exact formula.
