Korrelan, I understand LOCKSUIT's question. I think what he means is:

Recognition is not the only job of a full intellect. There should be action too, goals, beliefs, knowledge, memories, emotions maybe... Do you have a particular approach on these subjects?

Is there a thread dedicated to your work korrelan, where we could explore your work? Do you want to share tech, like the code snippet of a neuron class, or do you prefer not telling too much?

Oh I see…

To arrive at my design I have basically back engineered the human cerebral cortex and other brain areas.  It’s my evaluation of how I think the human brain works. 

To be sure I’m correct I have to simulate and test each facet of the human condition. So far I covered the simple things like audio/ visual/ attention/ saliency/ memories/ storing episodic memories and prediction etc. 

I’ve wrote a simulation of a biological system. The neuromorphic processor (NP) grows inside the simulation. The logic and rules of the simulation govern how the NP grows and develops as it matures and experiences the world.  The AGI is a ‘biological program’ that runs on the NP inside the simulation.

As you can imagine because the simulation governs the structure of the NP, and the structure of the NP governs the ‘thought’ processes of the AGI it’s been quite a long complex project. If I change the rules of the simulation to slightly adjust a growth trait of the NP structure, like say neuron spacing in layer three of the neocortex, the NP has to grow from scratch because the resulting NP connectome will be totally different, and as the structure of the NP comprises of the memories/ knowledge of the AGI it wouldn't be able to access those memories. Make sense?

As I perfect the NP and the ‘software’ that runs on it the system will (hopefully) develop the more ‘complex’ actions and traits like goal setting and beliefs.  A lot of the ‘high level’ traits like ‘goal setting’ require that a large knowledge base comprising of memories and correct predictions be in place.

I understand what the system needs to do to achieve the more complex phenomena; it’s just a matter of time before it gets to this stage…work in progress.

Just my project thread and Google+

Do you want to share tech

Not at this stage in the project; I’ve put a lot into this project and it will probably be my last attempt at creating a true AGI.

I don’t mind discussing brain theory etc. & I'm pleased you enquired about my methods though.

I will keep my project thread upto date with milestones as I achieve them.
