Ben:Note, this is not a way of building an AGI, it's a way of modeling and understanding a mind
Would you care to expand? I accept that various current AGI projects are useful “models of the mind” - vastly different from the real thing, but useful as exploratory forays for an eventual systemic science of the mind – useful for science. As you know, I wouldn’t accept that any AFAIK have anything to do with AGI – are useful for a real AGI technology.

How do you acquire the probability distributions over memory states, initially? 2. Does the Fisher-Rao metric help in calculating the distributions? Or it just provides the distance between 2 distributions? 3. How is the distance between 2 distributions related to the distance between 2 memory states? it seems that we'd be interested in the latter. I've been skimming the beginning of the book by Amari and Nagaoka, but I don't see how the theory is applied...
