I haven't understood how OpenCog Prime would fail when it comes to
recombining known concepts and stuff? In what way is our brain superior?
Searching through a list, hash, neurons and synapses, atom space and
recombining bits of information and nodes ... all the same to me? You
have a pool of information and patterns and an algorithm or a method of
iterating through that storage and applying some logic to them?
You can not possibly invent something genuinely new. Think of a colour
you have never seen before, or the universe with different laws of
nature ...

To quote yourself: "Wouldn't it be better if we all worked together on
something that might
work instead of pointing out why it might not? :-)"
You search through clusters of info in your head that have a) not been
associated with the problem before, or - in case I get another v.
literal response from you - b) associated in a particular way with the
problem, or c) well ordered for the problem beforehand.
Why would you want a brain where almost nothing is as neat and well
ordered as in an algorithm? - because that gives you infinite
flexibility to reshuffle and reassociate info - and thence
generativity. Low efficiency, but high generativity.
P.S. Your brain just registered a new idea from my post , which you
dismissed. Now, if you want to be creative and constructive, you can
go back to that idea which is neither ordered nor digested in your
brain, and make something new of it. You can "rediscover" the idea.
That's one form of the brain's cognitive synergy which is not
available to algos, but could be available to more imaginatively
constructed programs.

Try imagining a different universe with completely different laws of
nature. Good luck!

These searches are adventures – explorations – the opposite of what
algos do, which is really “checking” lists rather than true
“searching” through jungles of information.
