[Mind-help] Every AI project needs a theory of mind.

[Arthur T. M. <uj...@vi...>]

The Mind project here at SourceForge has a
Docs/Theory of Mind section.

If we think of all the AI projects on SourceForge
as a collective enterprise towards the common goal
of creating an AI in our lifetimes, then we can
provide "mind-help" to persons with questions
about theory or code by publishing the
theoretical basis of each AI project
and by studying the various theories
well enough to move ahead with a consensus
of what should be the Standard Model in AI theories.

Then either our original Mind code or ports of it
into new languages may be seen and treated as
implementations of the underlying theory of mind,
and we may get away from simply coding in the dark
towards theoretically murky and undefined goals.

It is good to discuss our AI work in an archival,
public form or forum, so that we may allay the fears
of anyone who is afraid that we are working in secret.
(We may still be working in secret, no one knows, but I
myself would rather answer AI e-mails only in public.)
