[ba-unrev-talk] Inquiry Driven Systems
At my blog: http://www.nexist.org/wiki/User0Blog
I mention something about what Jon Awbrey is working on: Prospects for
Inquiry Driven Systems.
His abstract:
"In briefest terms my project is to develop mutual applications of systems
theory and artificial intelligence to each other. In the current phase of
investigation I am taking a standpoint in systems theory, working to extend
its concepts and methods to cover increasingly interesting classes of
intelligent systems. A natural side-project is directed toward improving
the economy of effort by unifying a selection of tools being used in these
two fields. My instrumental focus is placed on integrating the methods of
differential geometry with the techniques of logic programming. I will
attempt to embody this project in the form of computer-implemented
connections between geometric dynamics and logical AI, and I will measure
its success by the extent and usefulness of this realization. " (01)
NexistWiki, and, I think, the entirety of the OHS vision, are about Inquiry
Driven Systems. All of Jon's contributions to http://www.nexist.org/wiki/
are, I think, of great value to Unrev. (02)
With luck, I think his ideas will show up in improvements to the NexistWiki
experiment. (03)
Cheers,
Jack
