>From the rewrite-in-progress of the User Manual -- 1.6 Uses of MindForth
1.6.1 For a Computer Science course in artificial intelligence Just as a JavaScript program can be serverside or clientside, an AI Mind program can be teacher-side or student-side in an academic environment. If you are a professor of computer science at the postgraduate or undergraduate level, you may use Mind.Forth anywhere on a range from peremptory dismissal to centering your AI course around an acceptance of MindForth as the first True AI. If you choose to dismiss the phenomenon of Mind.Forth, you may make a few "si tacuisses" disparaging remarks and get on with publish-or-perish as usual. At the other end of the range, and especially if you are trying to teach AI with extremely limited financial and hardware resources, you may use the free-on-line AI4U textbook and its also free-of-charge double enhancements in the form of updated chapter-pages and Wikipedia background links. If you are a student taking an AI or robotics course, you may subvert the dominant paradigm by introducing Mind.Forth as subject matter for consideration during the course. At the very least, your presentation should include a live demonstration of Mind.Forth thinking and cycling through its various AI Mind features, such as asking or answering questions, and the Rejuvenation process. You may go further by asking the instructor if you may do a project on Mind.Forth, up to and including a doctoral dissertation, or possibly including a rewrite of this User Manual for local use at the institution where a special course on AI/robotics is being given.
