Not being thoroughly familiar with AI programming, I wonder what it is
that you are asking exactly. Do you mean a Wiki-like environment for
communicating ideas on AI programming using Tcl?

In that case Wikit could provide a good starting point - just see
the Tcler's Wiki at <http://wiki.tcl.tk>

According to Arjen Markus <arjen....@wldelft.nl>:
:In that case Wikit could provide a good starting point - just see

:the Tcler's Wiki at <http://wiki.tcl.tk>

And the URL he quoted has pointers to the tcl'ers wiki web site, so he
knows about that.

I suspect he's recruiting developers.

The diagrams, etc. at the Original Poster (OP)'s web site seem familar
to me. Are they pretty standard AI diagrams, or is the OP just a new
id for someone who used to post about this topic a few years ago?

Yes, Tcl programmers into AI may see the whole story at
http://www.advogato.org/person/mentifex/ -- Diary.

No, the diagrams are unique and original to the AI4U textbook
http://isbn.nu/0595654371 -- hardbound AI4U textbook sources;
http://isbn.nu/0595259227 -- paperback AI4U textbook sources;

As the original poster (OP) I am the same Arthur T. Murray,
posting about open-source artificial intelligence since 1985.

I would like to see some Tcl AI-coding help for the coders at
http://extreme.magicalone.net/~moocow/ai/index.php?page=AiWiki

> Do you mean a Wiki-like environment for

Whoever will please code the main AI Mind loop in Tcl
and put the open-source Tcl AI code up on the Web --
HTML-ized if necessary for display -- will not have
to do any further work and will have "started the
ball rolling" by providing a foundation for Tcl AI.

Thanks in advance (TIA),

A.T. Murray

I'm sad to see that Murray has now infested the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup.

Pity. Every once in awhile my interest in AI gets sparked but
then after a little exploring I become overwelmed by the subject
and feel it's all way too much over my head to even play around
with. I guess I lack the intelligence to reduce the process
to a simple set of rules to build upon.
What I do know is that programming needs a flow and I fail
to see any flow in his "flow chart". Too me, it was more
like a magician's incantation.

"Intelligence may be quantified (such as IQ) but it need not be
qualified. That is, If it's intelligence then it's not artificial.
AI is a misnomer. If it's intelligence, it's intelligence." --moogy

Quite honestly, I wouldn't worry myself about that.

That is a generalization.

That is interesting: MIKE said LACK THE INTELLIGENCE
TO REDUCE THE PROCESS TO A SIMPLE SET OF RULES TO BUILD UPON.

How do you know? "That is interesting: MIKE said LACK THE INTELLIGENCE TO
REDUCE THE PROCESS TO A SIMPLE SET OF RULES TO BUILD UPON"? Is it
PROGRAMMING NEEDS A FLOW?
Why?: MIKE said PROGRAMMING NEEDS A FLOW.

> Too me
Too what?

How did you feel about that?

> "Intelligence may be quantified (such as IQ) but it need not be qualified

All consciousness can be reduced to logic.
PROGRAMMING NEEDS A FLOW NEED NOT BE QUALIFIED?

> That is

Is that so.

> If it's intelligence then it's not artificial

So if not it is INTELLIGENCE, then not it is INTELLIGENCE.

> AI is a misnomer

There have been many futile attempts to create machine intelligence.

That is a hypothetical question.

What do you look like?

Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.

Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.

Not surprising considering he's been plastering them about Usenet in
various off-topic newsgroups for the last twenty years now.

They're by no means standard AI diagrams. See my post elsewhere in this
thread.

It takes more than 5 mins to see a "flow chart" into it all.

Your scientifical thinking is too much linked to contaminated
philpsophical entropy.

a Web-tb would suit you better :-)

Check out this very cool AI program: www.20q.net

It will amaze you.
