I'm sympathetic to all this.

Ben> Yes....

Ben> To run with the programming langage metaphor, I think it looks a
Ben> bit more like really well-written Haskell code, with extremely
Ben> heavy use of a code library that works like "probabilistic
Ben> prolog" and finds -- probabilistic truth values of relationships

Ben> predicates.

>> My AGIRI Proceedings paper discusses this in more detail.

Ben> I look forward to reading it ;-)
