Yah, that is pretty much why we haven't integrated that code yet! >From the standpoint of the robotics application of OpenCog: Once we are doing more basic PLN inferences regarding robot perceptions and actions and goals, then it will make sense to extend the scope of our inference to include inferences regarding beliefs, and at that point integrating Sumit's code (possibly with some tweaks) will become high priority... Sumit did that for a GSoC project a couple years ago, with Matt Ikle's close supervision, and the code has been kinda sitting there waiting for us to pressingly need it For the application of PLN to bio-AI, we don't really need to reason about beliefs explicitly. For the robot application we will, we're just not quite there yet... -- Ben -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org “Our first mothers and fathers … were endowed with intelligence; they saw and instantly they could see far … they succeeded in knowing all that there is in the world. When they looked, instantly they saw all around them, and they contemplated in turn the arch of heaven and the round face of the earth. … Great was their wisdom …. They were able to know all.... But the Creator and the Maker did not hear this with pleasure. … ‘Are they not by nature simple creatures of our making? Must they also be gods? … What if they do not reproduce and multiply?’ Then the Heart of Heaven blew mist into their eyes, which clouded their sight as when a mirror is breathed upon. Their eyes were covered and they could see only what was close, only that was clear to them.” — Popol Vuh (holy book of the ancient Mayas) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
