Hi Ed,
I would not be even be surprised if the fluid grammar Stephen Reed is working on has all four of these features of doom. (Stephen, please tell me if this is true or not.) It appears from Stephen’s Apr 21 2008 - 5:16pm post about fluid grammar that it has (1) MEMORY, because it records individual new words and phrases it sees occurring in text before --- (2) DEVELOPMENT because its ability to properly parse adapts over time, through learning from the text --- (3) IDENTITY because I assume it classifies its individual word forms, words, and/or phrases within classes (Here I am guessing, Stephen, please correct me if I am wrong), --- and (4) ---NON-LINEARITY, because presumably performs many of the types of non-linear functions, such as thresholding and yes/no decision making, that would be used in almost any AGI such as Novamente. I believe that this is a true characterization of my plans for Texai, with regard to its forthcoming bootstrap English dialog system. Cheers. -Steve Stephen L.
