So it could be a specific set of states? To specify long term growth as a goal, wouldn't you need to be able to do an abstract evaluation of how the state *changes* rather than just the current state? > >> >> 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... > > This is described in the chapter on goal-oriented cognition in the OCP > wikibook... > Searching for goal in the wikibook got me a whole lot of pages, none of them with goal in the title. Is there any way to de-wiki the titles so that a search for goal would pick up http://opencog.org/wiki/OpenCogPrime:SchemaContextGoalTriad in its title? Goal picks up way too many text searches.
