Nope, right now we're just playing with virtual puppies, who aren't really explicitly concerned with long-term growth (plus of course various narrow-AI-ish applications of OpenCog components...) > Don't they have > to specify a specific state? Or am I reading > http://opencog.org/wiki/OpenCogPrime:GoalAtom wrong? They don't have to specify a specific state. A goal could be some PredicateNode P expressing an abstract evaluation of state, programmed in Combo (a general purpose programming language)... > > > Also do you have any information on how the top level goal will play a > part in assigning a fitness in Moses? That comes down to the basic triad Context & Procedure ==> Goal The aim of the Ai mind is to understand the context it's in, then learn or select a procedure that it estimates (infers) will have a high probability of helping it achieve its goal in the relevant context. MOSES is a procedure learning algorithm...
