Hi, Thanks for sharing your ideas and plans.
I have some questions after reading the writing. *. If you think your theory "is compatible with AGIs developed by the various groups on this list", what is unique in your approach that is missing in other approaches? *. In your "2-part architecture", it seems that you want the "mentor" to have all necessary knowledge (obtained via MDL), and the "agent" to selectively use part of the former. Does the agent need to maintain its own knowledge? If yes, why not to develop the agent as an AI system by its own, and use the world/environment as its mentor? If the agent has no knowledge, how can it decide what to ask to the mentor? If it just passes the user commands to the mentor, then how does it differ from a simple user interface? *. You said "interpreting means generating well-defined responses to formal queries". This is a very different usage of the word "interpreting". I'm afraid that it will cause confusion. Why didn't you use something like "problem solving", "query processing", or "question answering"? *. I do think what we have in mind is a summarized "representation of our experience", not an (minimum or not) "representation of the external world", though I understand that your opinion is shared by many other people. I won't argue on this issue here, but want you know that to me, it is a major problem in your proposal. *. Can your 4 requirements for mentor to be satisfied, either in theory or in practice? *. For implementation, you seem to suggest a hybrid system with ANN, probabilistic/statistical methods, and standard/fuzzy logics. Since these theories are based on completely different assumptions, how can they be consistently used together?
