I think the neural part comes from the fact that it use an (hyper) graph of probabilities like explained by Matt. The symbolic part stems from the fact that nodes in the graph are labeled which strings which form a programming language that can take advantage of FOL. My understanding is that atomspace is the paper on which you write AGI programs. A regular programming language is coded in text file, OpenCog is coded in atomspace. Or maybe I am misled. I am just a lurker too.
