Hi Ivan,

Thank you for the invitation to write another essay on symbolic AI.  Before
I answer your questions, I'd like to distinguish between 3 or 4 things that
are easily entangled.

First -- there is OpenCog. Roughly speaking, this is meant to be a software
implementation of Ben's vision for AGI, which he has spelled out in
multiple books over the decade(s). I guess the most recent one is
"Engineering General Intelligence", now a few years old.

-- There is PLN, "Probabilistic Logic Networks" -- This is another one of
Ben's creations -- it is a generalization of First Order Logic to a
probabilistic (Bayesian) setting. It's meant to be a mashup of the best of
both worlds.

-- There is the AtomSpace, which is a (hyper-)graph database. ("metagraph"
is another popular term.) Originally envisioned as a "Knowledge Store" for
different kinds of "Knowledge Representations", and for the search and
retrieval of specific bits of "knowledge". (KR S&R), the Atomspace has
evolved to be "as generic as possible", while still having "extremely fast
graph traversal". (i.e. what's connected to what.)

-- There is Atomese, which is a collection of predefined types of Atoms
that "do things".  The point of Atomese is to explicitly express
relationships between "things", so that algorithms (i.e. machines, not
people) can access that structure and manipulate it.  At the same time,
Atomese is executable, evaluatable. So if a graph can be thought of "a
collection of pipes", Atomese defines "what flows through those pipes." So
Atomese is at the same time a Knowledge Representation Language, and also a
Graph Database, and also a Programming Language. All three rolled into one.

With that intro:

variants.

-- First, there is a collection of mathematical research devoted to
understanding "what is a theorem?" "what is a proof?" "How do they work
together?" and "where do algorithms fit in?" This is an inder-disciplinary
line of work, melding together five or six different branches of
mathematics: model theory, proof theory, category theory, type theory,
topology and logic. It has been very fruitful, with some of the finest
mathematicians generating many notable and important results.

-- Second, there are specific efforts to automate some mundane, routine
mathematical tasks. For example, one is to verify the proof for the
classification of groups. This proof was published in the 1950's and
1960's, in many hundreds of journal articles, written by many hundreds of
authors, spanning many thousands of pages. No human has ever understood the
entirety of it -- or even read all of it -- so there may be errors. Thus,
it would be nice to automate this, and have a machine crunch through it,
and make sure it's right. Doing this requires having practical software
that is easy to use and is fast. In some ways, it can be compared to having
a calculator, but instead of a calculator for numbers, it's a calculator
for rings and fields and orders.  There are a dozen or more such systems,
ranging from cutting edge research platforms, as in the first bullet above,
to quotidian, practical systems that aspire to little other than being
usable and effective.

-- Third, there are neural nets, which suggest interesting theorems. This
is kind of weird, because it calls into question: "what is an interesting
theorem?" and, more generally, "what is mathematics, anyway?" Humans decide
what is interesting, and it's up to sociologists, psychologists and
philosophers to figure out what that means, to trace the currents of
influence from prof to student, much like fashion styles: dresses, skirts,
short skirts, long skirts, jeans, pant-suits. Short hair, long hair, hats.
Mathematics ebbs and flows like fashion. It's kind of weird when you ask a
neural net to do it for you.

Where might OpenCog, or PLN or Atomese fit in?

-- For me, personally, Atomese is kind of a research platform in the first
sense: I am trying to figure out how to mash up all those different
branches of mathematics, plus also probability, into a flexible, fast,
useful and usable platform for "knowledge representation". I invite
everyone to participate; but it's arcane enough that few are drawn into it.

-- For "practical" theorem proving, one must have a system that is fast ...
well, you might think that PLN could be used for that.  There's only one
catch: PLN is designed to work with probabilities, and this makes it (as
currently designed & envisioned) prone to combinatoric explosion, with only
the most basic, remedial algorithms for controlling this ("attention
allocation" or "ECAN" or "openpsi")  The probability aspect ruins things
for "theorem proving" -- because there are no probabilities in theorems.
Everything is "crisp logic" -- crisp true/false values. So you can't start
with PLN.

You could start with a brand-new project: take some existing system: for
example, some SAT solver, or some answer-set programming (ASP) solver, or
even something like AGDA or some HOL theorem prover, and figure out how to
wrap Atomese around it.  This is doable. It's interesting. It's
worthwhile.  And it requires laser-like focus: "why am I doing this?" and
"what's it good for?" have to be the primary #1 questions in the forefront.
Because these guide the actual design. In this sense, yes, one could write
a theorem prover in Atomese, .. as long as you know what it's good for, and
what you hope to accomplish.

-- For theorem discovery ... well, yes, that too. However, we still do not
have an adequate wrapper for neural nets (e.g. tensor flow) in Atomese.
There was an attempt to do this a few years ago, but I feel it went off the
rails, and didn't quite work out. I think the general idea is still valid:
and in terms of importance, it might be one of the most important things we
could do: we need -- we really really really need, a good, solid, strong
whizbang Atomese API into tensorflow and/or other frameworks.  I wish
someone would step up and do this.

Not sure what you mean. Like a symbolic algebra toolkit? Something that
factorizes polynomials over ideals and rings? Something that estimates
integrals? Say, like the commercial product "Mathematica"?  Hmm, I dunno.
So, Wolfram has a proprietary product which generates income which is used
to hire programmers to make it better. By comparison, stuff like GNU Octave
does not have this virtuous capitalistic feedback loop, where users pay
money to make Octave better. Open Source has trouble exploiting simple
profit loops. Open source can only exploit more complex, sophisticated and
fragile financial feedback loops. I suppose professors of finance and
business and economics study how open source makes financial profits, but I
have not seen anything particularly strong. There are assorted anecdotes
for running an open source business, but mostly everyone is still
scrambling to "monetize" their work.

Now if I could only monetize this email. Turn it into a youtube channel.
Nurture it to a thousand subscribers ... ten-thousand subscribers. Have
some embedded advertisements (may I suggest that Wolfram pays me ten cents
for everyone who reads this email? Maybe if I mention McCombs Business
School, they'll send some $$ my way.) Or maybe some in-app purchases.  My
bitcoin addr is  1MjcVE8A4sKDqbbxSf8rej9uVPZfuJQHnz or the image below
[image: btc.png]
So there. Step 1 ... Step 5. $$$ Profit!

There are aspects of programming that are like ... building websites. You
no longer need to know HTML and CSS, You just need to know how to give your
credit card to GoDaddy, and drag-n-drop your way to a colorful website for
your business. So, sure, there are aspects of programming that will fit in
that mold, and these can be found and refined and turned into a business
... I dunno, automated cell-phone app builders, or automated IoT agents, or
whatever.

But this is ... a business. Something an entrepreneur might try. Its not
part of Ben's OpenCog vision, it's not something PLN can do, and .. sure I
guess you could use the AtomSpace to store the "knowledge" of "how to write
a program", but, to the aspiring entrepreneur, I cannot offer a compelling
use case to choose the AtomSpace over something that the  Apache Foundation
might have to offer.

Do I miss something more ear-catching, and more applicable to graph

Well, I listed three distinct visualization apps.

(1) graph visualization for the AtomSpace, so that beginners can get
comfortable with running the examples and demos.

(2) a sophisticated debug tool for exploring complex hypergraphs/metagraphs

(3) a dashboard/ GUI panel for controlling processing. (In the olden days,
Ben called these "MindAgents".) In practice, it's a bunch of shell scripts
and perl scripts and scheme and python scripts -- all wired together to
create some data processing pipelines.  And .. hey!  It would be way cool
to represent that pipeline in Atomese!  It would be wayyy cool to allow
different providers to provide these scriplets, and when you wire them
together and run them, you could exchange some crypto-token, for doing that
processing -- for the CPU, the RAM, the algo.

So you would have some graphical UI, showing how to wire together different
subsystems with drag-n-drop (it's just Atoms/Atomese! The graph browser of
(1) is enough for this!), and then watch the processing happen, via a
Graphana-type visual interface. And you'd pay each processing provider some
ERC20 tokens (no wait, maybe Cardano is better...)  .. This would be
drag-n-drop data-mining heaven.  If only there was someone who was
interested in building something like that. I even got a cool name for this
project: we could call it "the Network of Singularities".  Or NetSing, for
short.  I should bend Ben's ear about this, I think it's a really great
idea!  Although I guess it could be hard to make it work.

Sure, but I'm not clear what a "fractal graph visualizer" is. And as to a
"free structures repo" -- well we already got one -- the AtomSpace -- so
I'm not interested in reinventing that wheel. It's more like .. I want to
use the wheel I got to build a car.
