Hi Linas, Thank you for detailed explanations about evaluating graph of factoids. Surely it may reach some conclusion in this way. However, when I think about this example I create a simple model in which the cat's hunger is a variable which is constantly decreased by eating mice. When the cat is satiated it stops eating mice. It hunts later one mouse each time it is hungry. Can OpenCog create such models of situation with variables?
Imagination is also the ability to mentally put objects in space. Suppose a box has more complicated structure with some nooks and crannies inside. If I draw the scheme of a box with size and initial positions of mice and cat marked as well, a human could imagine(based on experience of watching Tom&Jerry :) ) where the mice will hide, will they be fast enough and if cat's legs are long enough to reach hidden mice. Can AI invent such simulations?
