AtomSpaceLink

[Linas Vepstas]

Alexey .. continuing to listen to you talk .. you should be aware of AtomSpaceLink. This is a proposed link type that would allow you to write things like

(AtomSpaceLink

     (Node "name of the atomsapace")

     (Atom "stuff"))

Details are discussed in one of the github design proposal issues.

Implementing this is *easy* (I could do it in a day or two) but the primary problem is that the obvious implementation would cost a fair amount of RAM. Since no one was demanding this feature urgently, it was never implemented.

(I dislike anything that increases RAM usage, or slows things down)

Linas, yes, I've heard about AtomSpaceLink proposal, and I'm really happy that Atomese is moving forward in the directions we also consider useful because it justifies our own conclusions. And I meant neither that AtomSpaceLink would be difficult to add nor that we are lacking it so badly. My point was that the necessity for this link can follow from the underlying formal semantics of Atomese (in sense of possible new design), and if it will be so, we'll get a lot of additional useful properties "for free" instead of just adding one independent feature after another, which will be lacking these properties (or will be not that easy to implement).
