Brigette Bardot Says It All (An Exercise in the 1D Cluster Variation Method)

Probably best to get the kids out of the room before you play this one. Lots of heavy breathing by Brigette. And you can read the backstory here. (And a bit more here, if you’re so inclined.) But to business … The Starting Point … and the FIRST Illustrative Text String I had previously worked… Continue reading Brigette Bardot Says It All (An Exercise in the 1D Cluster Variation Method)

Pivoting to AGI: What to Read/Watch/Do This Weekend

We are moving from a generative-AI era to an AGI era. What that means – in the simplest technical terms – is that we’re pivoting from “single-algorithm systems” to systems that must – intrinsically – involve multiple major subsystems, and multiple control structures. We’re closing out a 50-year connectionist AI era. This era began with… Continue reading Pivoting to AGI: What to Read/Watch/Do This Weekend

CORTECONs: AGI in 2024-2025 – R&D Plan Overview

By the end of 2024, we anticipate having a fully-functional CORTECON (COntent-Retentive, TEmporally-CONnected) framework in place. This will be the core AGI (artificial general intelligence) engine. This is all very straightforward. It’s a calm, steady development – we expect it will all unfold rather smoothly. The essential AGI engine is a CORTECON. The main internal… Continue reading CORTECONs: AGI in 2024-2025 – R&D Plan Overview

CORTECONs and AGI: Reaching Latent Layer Equilibrium

The most important thing in building an AGI is the ability to repeated bring the latent layer to equilibrium. This is the fundamental capability that has been missing in previous neural networks. The lack of a dynamic process to continuously reach a free energy minimum is why we have not had, until now, a robust… Continue reading CORTECONs and AGI: Reaching Latent Layer Equilibrium

1D CVM Object Instance Attributes: wLeft Details

We illustrate how the specific values for a single object-oriented instance attribute are determined. We do this for the specific case of the “wLeft” instance attribute for the Node object in the 1-D cluster variation method (1D CVM) code. The same considerations will apply when we progress to the 2D CVM code. The specific values… Continue reading 1D CVM Object Instance Attributes: wLeft Details
