To kick off the new year ... here is Part 2 of a trilogy of papers I'm working on ...
"Paraconsistent Foundations for Probabilistic Reasoning, Programming and Concept Formation " https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.14474 this one grounds (key aspects of) PLN in paraconsistent logic, and thus makes clearer the programming-language Curry-Howard cognate of PLN (via the known prog-lang cognate of relevant sorts of paraconsistent logic). Also some other related stuff like paraconsistent Formal Concept Analysis... Part 3 (another paper) will sketchily represent the core OpenCog cognitive algorithms as Galois connections involving continuation-passing-style metagraph chronomorphisms , where the metagraph targets are labeled w/ probabilistic/paraconsistent dependent types as outlined in Part 2 ... But I will defer starting on that till I finish some work on the SNet roadmap and related issues ... -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org “Words exist because of meaning; once you've got the meaning you can forget the words. How can we build an AGI who will forget words so I can have a word with him?” -- Zhuangzhi++ ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T425c68f0cea319cd-Md3afb111c5ca12df09c78f30 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
