The OpenCog and NM architectures are in principle supportive of this kind of multisensory integrative consciousness, but not a lot of thought has gone into exactly how to support it ... In one approach, one would want to have -- a large DB of embodied experiences (complete with the sensorial and action data from the experiences) -- a number of dimensional spaces, into which experiences are embedded (a spatiotemporal region corresponds to a point in a dimensional space). Each dimensional space would be organized according to a different principle, e.g. melody, rhythm, overall visual similarity, similarity of shape, similarity of color, etc. -- an internal simulation world in which concrete remembered experiences, blended experiences, or abstracted experiences could be enacted and "internally simulated" -- conceptual blending operations implemented on the dimensional spaces and directly in the internal sim world -- methods for measuring similarity, inheritance and other logical relationships in the dimensional spaces and the internal sim world -- methods for enacting learned procedures in the internal sim world, and learning new procedures based on simulating what they would do in the internal sim world This is all do-able according to mechanisms that exist in the OpenCog and NM designs, but it's an aspect we haven't focused on so far in NM... though we're moving in that direction due to our work w/ embodiment in simulation worlds... We have built a sketchy internal sim world for NM but haven't experimented with it much yet due to other priorities... -- Ben ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=95818715-a78a9b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
