"Knowledge is represented in a network whose nodes and links carry probabilistic truth values as well as "attention values", with the attention values resembling the weights in a neural network."

attention values resembling the weights .. in a neural network .. attributed to the attention cognitive part of processing the knowledge body .. upon which its strength and efficiency is assessed by ..

Why is AGI research so unpopular??

human cognition .. resists ..its dethronement from the pedestal has put itself in .. resists vehemently .. and to my opinion foolishly .. as not enough self-knowledge has accumulated .. acknowledged, heeded and abided by .. as a result .. the terminator-scenarios, the AI robots all the popular folklore .. out of sci-fi and film industry .. the myths created and propagated .. of future evolution of societies .. always admonishing for the plight of humanity

In "Patterns, Hypergraphs and Embodied General Intelligence" by Ben Goertzel

"The most articulate argument so far created in favor of the in-principle possibility of AGI is Marcus Hutter’s [3] theoretical work on algorithmic information theory and decision theory, which involves positing a very general mathematical definition of intelligence and then proving rigorously that arbitrarily high degrees of intelligence are possible given arbitrarily large amounts of computational power. If Hutter’s definition of intelligence is accepted, then his theorems show that with enough computing power, making AGI is trivial and can be done in a few dozen lines of easily-formulated LISP code. But this insight doesn’t help much in creating practical AGI systems using tractable amounts of computational power – probably because, as per [4], the human brain consists of a collection of more or less clever tricks for achieving more or less general intelligence within strict computation-power constraints."

I like the structuralists approach to linguistics, to language.

Structuralism in linguistics

"In Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics (written by Saussure's colleagues after his death and based on student notes), the analysis focuses not on the use of language (called "parole", or speech), but rather on the underlying system of language (called "langue").

.. underlying system of language .. language as a system .. a network .. out of entities ..organised .. in systems/subsystems .. networks/subnetworks .. organised under .. a multilevel control methodology .. a model that mind organises itself by .. hierarchical levels along with heterarchical networks .. the heterarchy of the elements of language .. as they attain their .. "signifier" and "signified" portions .. interconnecting .. co-evolving .. but to their own ends ..

"This approach examines how the elements of language relate to each other in the present, synchronically rather than diachronically."

synchronically .. interconnection implied .. development 'flows' synchronised revealing .. an underlying fine tuning .. to simultaneous arrival .. to ever precise meanings ..

"Saussure argued that linguistic signs were composed of two parts:
a "signifier" (the "sound pattern" of a word, either in mental projection—as when one silently recites lines from a poem to one's self—or in actual, physical realization as part of a speech act)"

the "signifier" .. the grammatical form .. developed out .. the word formation rules .. which enable the words to physically realize .. that a language provides

"a "signified" (the concept or meaning of the word)"

the "signified" .. a pliable .. dynamic .. ever-evolving approach .. that detach the meaning attributed .. away from idealistic considerations that distract from their natural discourse .. and appropriate to longitudinal language development .. a collective effort .. by all language practitioners .. and its latitudinal language development ..as each individual attains its own language ..

"This was quite different from previous approaches that focused on the relationship between words and the things in the world that they designate."

..implying ..learning from above .. given but not taken .. external to individual .. individual robbed of its potential .. to develop its own language .. and subsequently to contribute .. to the longitudinal language development

Emergence, emergent properties trigger ascension events.

"Still, the central mystery is much the same in both cases: how does a persistent, flexible organization emerge from relatively inflexible components?"

..ascends
.. acts of ascension .. as a whole .. the emerged flexible organization..

emergence, from chaos to order, John H. Holland, Chapter 5: Neural nets, p.82.

"Like the ant colony, the central nervous system (CNS) is composed of numerous interacting individuals, called neurons. Individual neurons, like individual ants, have a behavioural repertoire that can be reasonably approximated with the help of a small number of rules."

.. like ants .. neurons .. behavioural repertoire .. behaviours .. simple acts .. directed, somehow ..controlled .. by simple rules .. within the framework .. along with .. the instances of behaviour .. create the whole .. the ant colony .. the CNS .. a unit by itself ..

"And, like the ant colony, the behaviours mediated by the CNS are much more complex, in both time and space, than the behaviours of the constituent neurons."

the ants .. can be assumed that they are oblivious .. of the unit that they have created .. the ant colony .. the whole ..

oblivious of the rules that the ant colony ..abides by .. rules that are above and beyond .. the rules that ants abide by .. and, as it would be expected, the rules adhered to, determines the framework of understanding .. a framework of understanding inappropriate as a vehicle of comprehension .. the rules upheld ..by the ant colony ..

un-comprehending by the ants .. despite the fact .. that their very existence depends .. upon the application of the rules .. by the ants .. as such

like the Conway's automaton units .. their 'intelligence' confined by mental capacity .. as defined by the rules followed .. that makes possible the automata existence ..

human societies differ .. as the units .. their intelligence .. surpasses the capacity conferred to .. by the simple rules they follow .. adhered within the framework of societies .. affords that capacity ..

endowed with capacity .. that supersedes the capacity the rule-based capacity .. implies .. attributes with .. the plausible field

the result the constant upheaval that human societies find themselves in .. since their inception ..

the human individual .. has .. the potential .. of ascension .. ascends ..

the new properties emerging .. a .. new, novel properties .. enabled act .. ascension ..

.. ascension .. inherent .. intrinsic .. the numerous cases .. the human mind has invented .. from limited in scope .. to limitless .. beyond limits scope .. what makes the individual acquire .. the at home ..feeling ..roosting within ..

relying upon the phenomenon .. leaves ground unexplained .. the phenomenon what is observed .. not what is underlying ..
.. underlying may be ..even ..beyond what the rules of physics alone can explain ..
