The openpsi name is problematic: -- Joscha Bach's psi is also open-source -- openpsi is no longer the main psychological modeller for opencog (the "component process model" now is)
This suggests that a better name is needed. The functions implemented in openpsi perform a very important task of selecting and choosing and deciding what to do, based on the need to fulfill certain goals. The goals need not be psychological goals, and the chosen "things" are usually "actions" but not necessarily so. "action selector" is one but its boring. "action formulator and selector" ASAF ASF AFS AFAS is aonther mouthful. How about "the decider"? pluses: its short, its a term not used anywhere else in the system, so no confusion about which subsystem it refers to. Its unique enough that there is not even a collision with most OS or compsci theory and no confusion with NN or ANN theory. Yet you can guess what it does, given just its one-word name. minuses: unfortunate reference to dubya. --linas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
