Thanks for putting this together! If I were to put myself into your theory of AI research, I would probably be roughly included in the Structure-AI and Capability-AI (better descriptions of the brain and computer programs that have more capabilities).
It is a reasonable position, though in the long run you may have to choose between the two, since they often conflict.
I haven't heard of a lot of these systems current Capabilities. A lot of them are pretty old--like SOAR and ACT-R.
At the current stage, no AGI system has achieved remarkable capability. In the list, the ones have most practical applications are probably Cyc, SOAR, and ACT-R.
I tried finding literature on the success of some of these architectures, but most of the available literature was in the theory of theories of AI category. The SOAR literature, for example, is massive and mostly focused on small independent projects.
Soar and ACT-R, in their current form, are programming languages and platforms, in the sense that whoever use them are responsible for writing "models" in them. Therefore, to say "Soar is general-purpose" is like saying "Java is general-purpose" --- the system can be applied in many domains, but each application is indeed a "small independent project". It is already very different from what Newell had in mind at the beginning of Soar.
Are there large real-world problems that have been solved by these systems? I would find Capability links very useful if they were added.
I don't think there is any such solution, though that is not the major issue they face as AGI projects. As I analyzed in the paper on "AI definitions", they are not designed with Capability as the primary goal. Pei
