Right Frontal Temporal Lobes
* Semantic memory tends to

In Novamente nodes may contain procedures. IMO this makes the knowledge
representation very complex. In my model I use a flat representation akin
to predicate logic / semantic network. This is one of the key assumptions I
make, ie that a flat representation is sufficient for AGI.

an executive summary from last weekends AGI Workshop? Im sure
there are many on this list who are interested. Did it
happen? Were the participants friendly or unfriendly?
Seemed to have the ingredients for a very stimulating event.
