Re: [opencog/opencog] General cleanup of the embodiment doc. (#2488)

[Linas Vepstas]

Atttached please find the latest version of the latest draft of the embodiment-world-model document. It cleans up almost all remaining loose text.  It's still missing a conclusion, and probably still needs more grooming, but it should be a quasi-final draft.

I did want to expound further on how to design certain subsystems, but then decided it was wiser to prototype first, and describe those results, than to speculate first, and not be understood.  Thus, speculation is minimal, and the doc does not try to be forward-looking beyond the next step or two.

Chapter 6 is filled with a bullet-point list of "neat ideas" that should be very straight-forward to implement in the current framework, that I hope "any" programmer could accomplish.  My hopes have been dashed before, but hope springs eternal.

Hi All,

Trying to read through the knowledge.scm file that is supposed to, in some ways, embody the internal-model for chatbot-eva.

Naturally, I have some very basic questions. It'd be nice to understand what exactly the following nodes do or represent:

- DefinedSchema, 

- Inheritance vs. InheritanceLink, 

- AnchorNode, and 

- PredicateNode vs. DefinedPredicate vs. Predicate)

I've come across the few others (EvaluationLink, Predicate etc) while reading through the PLN book, where the exposition is much more detailed. I can implicitly guess what each of the above represents, but it'd help to know the nuances between (for e.g.) Inheritance Vs InheritanceLink (etc.) as well as fundamental basis for nodes like the 'DefinedSchema'.

Also, where'd be a good source to read more about these nodes ?

Linas, wonderful step forward. It is so pleasing to see the small surgical team ahead of the massive corporate armies. Keep running the wolf packs will get organized eventually. The more you put in the public domain the less they can enclose and control.
