Decoder component (a) receives percepts, (b) recognizes learned patterns (concepts), (c) activates a subset of the semantic net relevant to the recognized patterns/concepts. I omitted the first time construction of concepts, as I'm not sure how it can be done in real time, or felt it to be another story. I agree with Andrew in not equating concepts and signs, but the above scheme is OK for me as long as the semantic net or conceptual space contains sub-symbolic nodes that do not correspond to signs. Note that human beings would not produce all possible linguistic descriptions in Mentalese for a scene in the real world, which would be in(de)finitely many. (But the idea of activating a part of the semantic net seems OK.) Best, -- AN > So, the beginnings of the AGI's semiosis components: > > `1.
