The phenomenal self, a key aspect of intelligent systems is the result of an intelligent system 
recognizing itself as a pattern in its (internal and external) behaviors. 
 
A baby knows nothing not even what itself is and what its mother or the bed is. 
Must gradually build up repres of world. 
 
Intelligence is the ability to achieve complex goals in a complex environment 
 
Goals are achieve via recog. probabilistic patterns of the form 
"Carryin out procedure P in contex C will achieve goal G"

Novamente's Atom Space 
nodes and links: similar to 
 
ATTENTION VALUES low LT import High LT import 
low ST import useless not used now but need it (mother phone #) 
 
high ST import very important 
 
attention,semantics including prob. truth value 
 
links may denote generic assoc: Hebbian link: coffee cup to coffee 
 
logical representaiton with truth values and associations. 
 
Novamente machine 
 
 Sloman cognitive architecture 
 Stan Franklin 
 Aaron 
 Minsky 
 Patty Maes 
 
 Percepts go to Active Memory 
 
 Assigning a LT import value (must cycle thru and decide) 
 
 Philos of Cognitve Process Integration 
 Combine various algorithms, carrying out var. cog functions such that they 
AMELIORATE rather than exaggerate each others' intrinsic combinatorial explosions. 
 
 Can you hook algorithms together so that they CALM DOWN the combin explosion. 
 
 Probab. logic engine (best integration of prob. theory + logic 
 
 How to QUELL combinatorics 
 
 Moses Looks: Moshe's PhD thesis: make inferences about which prob. 
 Probab. evolutionary learning ; 
 
 Control Processes 
 
 Trick: how to get system to recognize itself in the world. 
 
 COMBINE EXPLAIN COMBINE EXPLAIN LOOP 
 
 WHAT COULD I BE??? 
 
 SELF REFLEXIVE

 Must WORK ON AGI to achieve AGI (to easy to cheat with single domain) 
 
Q: relation to Jeff Hawkins: hierarchy with Bayes Net. 
A: hierach. pattern recog. great but only one tool. 
 
Q: What not use 
A: 
 
Q: Each percept has a time stamp has a separate time server. 
 
Q: Fetch and Tag: give partial rewards; 
 
Bioinformatics system: great discoveries but limited domain.
