Tues.27.JUL.2010 -- Default "IS" in BeVerb Yesterday our work was drawn out and delayed when we discovered that the AI could not properly recognize the word "YOURSELF." The AI kept incrementing the concept number for each instance of "YOURSELF". Since we were more interested in coding who-queries than in troubleshooting AudRecog, we substituted the sentence "YOU ARE MAGIC" in place of "YOU ARE YOURSELF".
Even then the AI did not function perfectly well. The chain of thought got trapped in repetitions of "ANDRU AM ANDRU", until KbTraversal "rescued" the situation. However, we know why the AI got stuck in a rut. It was able to answer the query "who are you" with "I AM ANDRU", but it did not know anything further to say about ANDRU, so it repeated "ANDRU AM ANDRU". Immediately it made us want to improve upon the BeVerb module, so that the AI will endlessly repeat "ANDRU IS ANDRU" instead of "ANDRU AM ANDRU". Therefore let us go into the source code and make "IS" the default verb-form of the BeVerb module. midway @ t @ DO \ search backwards in time; 27jul2010 I 0 en{ @ 66 = IF \ most recent instance; 27jul2010 66 motjuste ! ( default verb-form 66=IS; 27jul2010 ) I 7 en{ @ aud ! \ get the recall-vector; 27jul2010 LEAVE \ after finding most recent "IS"; 27jul2010 THEN \ end of test for 66=IS; 27jul2010 -1 +LOOP \ end of retrieval loop for default "IS"; 27jul2010 The upshot was that the AI started repeating "ANDRU IS ANDRU" instead of "ANDRU AM ANDRU". Unfortunately, however, the AI also started repeating "I IS I". Tues.27.JUL.2010 -- Tweaking a Few Parameters Next we spent quite some time searching for some sort of quasi-werwolf mechanism that would re-activate the last concept in a thought as the first concept in a succeeding thought. We searched our code in vain for a variable that would keep track of any resuscitand concept. We looked at our ActRules page and we re-studied our Moving Wave Algorithm. Then it dawned on us. The Moving Wave automatically leaves the cresting, final concept active. No Werwolf mechanism is necessary. If we want to avoid the repetition-chanting of "ANDRU IS ANDRU", we have to make the "qutop" query-topic have a resuscitand activation of, say, forty (40), so that it will be higher in activation than the level of thirty-six (36) typically left on the final, cresting concept in a sentence of normal thought. So we comment out the old setting of "16" for "qutop" in the WhoPlex code as shown below, and we use a value of "40". : WhoPlex \ initial stub; may be moved; 26jul2010 1 t @ 1 + DO \ loop in search of qutop; 26jul2010 I 0 psi{ @ qutop @ = IF \ seek qutop; 26jul2010 \ 16 I 1 psi{ ! \ activate qutop; 26jul2010 40 I 1 psi{ ! \ activate qutop; 27jul2010 THEN \ end of test for query-topic; 26jul2010 -1 +LOOP \ end of loop seeking qutop; 26jul2010 ; ( End of WhoPlex; return to EnCog ) Now we run the AI and we ask it, "Who are you?"

Human: who are you Robot: I AM ANDRU Human: Robot: I AM ANDRU Human: Robot: ANDRU HELPS KIDS Human: Robot: KIDS MAKE ROBOTS Human: Robot: ROBOTS NEED ME Human: Robot: I IS I Human: Robot: I AM ANDRU Human: Robot: ANDRU HELPS KIDS Human: Robot: KIDS MAKE ROBOTS User Command: halt For the first time in our dozen-plus years of developing MindForth, the AI acts like an intelligence struggling to express itself, and it succeeds admirably and fascinatingly. We run the robot AI through its cognitive paces. We tell it things, and then we ask it questions about its knowledge base. We seem to be dealing with a true artificial intelligence here. Now we upload the AI Mind to the World Wide Awakening Web.
