Now I see what you mean --- your "meta information" is closely related
to the "Self-monitor and self-control" operations introduced in
http://code.google.com/p/open-nars/wiki/OpenNarsOneDotFour
See the following.

The operator "^believe" will do something similar: when the
truth-value of judgment J is higher than a threshold, it will be
converted into a binary statement "I believe J", here "I" means the
system itself. It is not limited to inbound judgments.
Whether the system will trust an information source is a different
matter --- it mainly depends on the system's past record, rather than
in its confidence.

Yes, the system will gradually develop knowledge about what it can/cannot infer.

Agree.

I surely will, but probably not soon --- I'm super busy at the
beginning of a semester.
Self-monitor/self-control is a huge topic that needs a lot of work.
For example, one obvious question is: what is the minimum set of
operation needed for human-level self-monitor/self-control (aka
"consciousness")? "To be able to completely rewrite ones own source
code" was proposed by some people, but to me, that is a very bad idea.
Intelligent systems should be much more conservative than that. Taking
human beings as an example: we cannot even erase a specific memory (in
normal situations), and I believe there is a reason for that operation
not to be found by evolution.
