Any student or programmer interested in coding a new
species of AI Mind may create an AI Web page with the
source code of the main AI program loop based on the
highest-level top-down AI Mind modules described online at
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/ME/MENTIFEX/mind.txt (q.v.):

Name Description
------------- -------------------------------------------
AI::Mind:: Perl implementation of main AI Mind module.
::Sensorium Audition; other human/robot input senses.
::Emotion Quasi-physiological influence upon thought.
::Think Syntax and vocabulary of natural languages.
::Volition Contemplative selection of motor options.
::Motorium Robotic activation of motor initiatives.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595259227/ -- the AI textbook
that now replaces obsolete AI curricula (and at a much lower price :-)
will describe how Artificial Intelligence has been solved in three ways --

http://mentifex.virtualentity.com/theory5.html Concept-Fiber Theory of Mind;

http://mentifex.virtualentity.com/jsaimind.html Mind-1.1 AI source code; and

AI4U: Mind-1.1 Programmer's Manual and textbook of artificial
intelligence,
which has the following positive and negative points.

+ It describes the rapidly evolving AI Minds on the Web.
- It quickly becomes obsolete as the AI hyper-evolves.
+ On-demand publishing (ODP) makes for quick updates.
- The Mentifex project is considered oddball on the 'Net.
+ You've got the first book about the first real AI Mind.
- There are other, better, more authoritative AI textbooks.
+ AI4U makes a good supplement for actually coding AI.
- Artificial intelligence is too hard to understand.
+ AI4U describes the AI while it is still easy to learn.
- "I would rather build robots than study AI programming."
+ If you want to build a smart robot, then AI4U is for you.
- "I'm only a high school student/teacher; what's the use?"
+ This book will challenge even the most gifted student.
- "I am not a programmer and so I can't code AI."
+ AI4U teaches you how to operate an AI, not just code it.
- "I just want to do Web design, not artificial intelligence."
+ AI4U provides an AI that you may install on your website.
- "I am more interested in neuroscience and/or psychology."
+ AI4U teaches a theory of how the brain works psychologically.

Once any individual starts an AI Web page for a given language,
it is to be expected that others will code and share improvements.
