Please excuse the double post. I have an idea that I would like to try
out. I would like to design modalities, sight sound taste touch and
smell and general. Each of these are in turn broken into
submodalities, For example sight has shape, color, position. Shape can
be a collection of points in xyz three dimensional space. Feeling has
temperature, pressure, texture. General has intensity, location,
duration. Sound has pitch, volume, and so forth. An object has each of
these qualities. Through time these objects can be deformed. For
example: red color, round shape. Smell is apple scent. Feeling is
hard, and crunchy and juicy. On a higher level is the idea that this
is an apple. It can be deformed as chunks over time are taken out of
the apple. The higher level idea is that the apple is being eaten.
Higher yet again is the thought, this apple tastes good.
Ultimately I would like to create a program that can generate ideas
and put them into text. Then it can animate the text creating movies.
I want to create this system so that in the end, the program can
create items of value. I also want to create, or help create a
distribution system with the property of getting the text or movie to
those who want it.
My dream is to create a program that in turn creates items of value
and distributes them to those who want it. This I believe is a wealth
generation system and it will be able to reduce poverty. I know it
sounds crazy but it is my goal. It is the reason I need a storyteller.
I would like to use opencog to make it.
