I did not get the impression he actually tried it, though. I'm still waiting on meaningful feedback. Re: PLN, I split out the Unifier last summer, and wrapped it with a brand new RuleLink and some other new types. I had the general impression that these would greatly simplify the design of PLN -- see the demos -- but I thought you'd abandoned PLN!? https://wiki.opencog.org/w/RuleLink As to a distributed AtomSpace, there are now things called "ProxyNode" https://wiki.opencog.org/w/ProxyNode which implement different styles of distributed atomspace networking, including read-thru, write-thru, caching, round-robin etc. So, basically, a local AtomSpace can forward requests to other AtomSpaces on the net, in various different ways. These resemble the various RAID modes for disk drives, e.g. RAID-0, RAID-1, but with read and write channels split out separately. And of course, you can stack these. mix-n-match to build more complex dataflow pipelines. Demo here: https://github.com/opencog/atomspace/blob/master/examples/atomspace/persist-proxy.scm FWIW, There is also a new https://wiki.opencog.org/w/GrantLink which provides a kind-of-like mutex. -- Linas Broader experimentation w/ implementing AI algorithms in MeTTa should > start after the alpha release, and I expect in the summer or early > fall we will begin applying Hyperon to control groups of agents > cooperating to achieve goals in Minecraft, and to interpret/drive LLMs > with an aim of more truthful question-answering/dialogue ... > > By mid-Fall 2023 we should be at a stage where we can give more > precise development timelines....
