Yes, it would be nice if we could leave behind the no-longer-needed NumberNodes and SetLinks in the temp atomspace, and watch them go "poof" when the temp space is deleted .. but the results of those computations, we typically want to keep. If the result was the creation of a new atom, how can one put it in the main atomspace? --linas -- cassette tapes - analog TV - film cameras - you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
