To Do List

• 1 Coding to be done
  • 1.1 Improvement of individual mind-modules
    • Generation of thought by backwards association from a concept.
    • Meandering association thoughout the AI Mind knowledge base.
  • 1.2 Design and creation of new mind-modules
    • Insertion of a second linguistic superstructure for a second language.
    • Keep the same deep-concept array, even for a polyglot mind.
    • Code a new syntax array for, say, the German language.
    • Install a vocab module for the second natural language.
    • Keep the same auditory engram array.
    • Code a language-switching mechanism for selecting
      which language to think in and for machine translation.
    • 1.2.1 Self-modifying AI code
    • For a looping spiral of learning any new syntax,
      use Forth part-of-speech modules which have a weight-attachment
      to permit an infant mind to assemble any desired sequence
      based on the very limited field of part-of-speech options.
    • 1.2.2 Swapping memories into Forth AI upgrades
    • Until it is possible to update AI Mind code on the fly, suddenly
      transfer all AI Mind memories into a new AI and delete the old.
  • 1.3 Robotics
    • 1.3.1 Installation in robots
    • 1.3.2 Sensorium for robots
    • Audition -- needs code for speech recognition
    • Smell-- for robotic quality control of odors
    • Taste-- for chemical analysis of foodstuffs
    • Touch-- haptics
    • Vision-- needs code in Forth and other languages
    • 1.3.3 Motorium for robots
    • 1.3.4 Forth chips
    • 1.3.5 Robotic immortality
