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

AGI Notation: Friston’s Use of “Psi”

We want to create an AGI (artificial general intelligence). If you’re reading this post, we trust that is your intention as well. We already know that AGI won’t come out of transformers. They are, in their essence, content addressable memories. That’s what they can do; that’s ALL that they can do. Our core equation comes… Continue reading AGI Notation: Friston’s Use of “Psi”

1-D Cluster Variation Method: Simple Text String Worked Example (Part 1)

Today, we focus on getting the entropy term in the 1-D cluster variation method (the 1D CVM), using a simple text string as the basis for our worked example. This blog is in-progress. Please check back tomorrow for the updated version. Thank you! – AJM Our End Goal Our end goal – the reason that… Continue reading 1-D Cluster Variation Method: Simple Text String Worked Example (Part 1)

CORTECONS: A New Class of Neural Networks

In the classic science fiction novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, author Philip K. Dick gives us a futuristic plotline that would – even today – be more exciting and thought-provoking than many of the newly-released “AI/robot as monster” movies. The key question today is: Can androids dream? This is not as far-fetched as… Continue reading CORTECONS: A New Class of Neural Networks

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

Unboxing Grossberg’s “Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain”

Steve Grossberg’s book, Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain, summarizes fifty years of neurophysiology-inspired research and inventions in neural networks architectures, most notably the Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) network, where his colleague Gail Carpenter was first author on two very important papers. We’ve done something a little different this time … a literal “unboxing” of the physical… Continue reading Unboxing Grossberg’s “Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain”

Evolution of NLP Algorithms through Latent Variables: Future of AI (Part 3 of 3)

AJM Note: ALTHOUGH NEARLY COMPLETE, references and discussion still being added to this blogpost. This note will be removed once the blogpost is completed – anticipated over the Memorial Day weekend, 2023. Note updated 12:30 AM, Hawai’i Time, Tuesday, May 29, 2023. This blogpost accompanies a YouTube vid on the same topic of the Evolution… Continue reading Evolution of NLP Algorithms through Latent Variables: Future of AI (Part 3 of 3)

New Neural Network Class: Framework: The Future of AI (Part 2 of 3)

We want to identify how and where the next “big breakthrough” will occur in AI. We use three tools or approaches to identify where this next big breakthrough will occur: The Quick Overview Get the quick overview with this YouTube #short: The Full YouTube Maren, Alianna J. 2023. “A New Neural Network Class: Creating the… Continue reading New Neural Network Class: Framework: The Future of AI (Part 2 of 3)
