This book describes a software developer's attempt to produce an
abstraction of some of the knowledge and
understanding gained in the fields of neurobiology, behavior, cognition,
learning, and the philosophy of mind. A variety of novel concepts and
methods have emerged from the exploration, which are describe in the book.
Taken together, these innovations overcome most of the obstacles encountered
in designing systems capable of continuously learning and adapting within a
complex milieu.
Two new patented learning methods are among the new concepts that are fully
detailed in the book. One of them, dubbed multitemporal synapses, is the the
result of a new theory of learning and perception. It predicts and models the
human perception of a present moment in time, permitting the formation of
detailed in-the-moment responses to current situations, while maintaining and
preserving long-term memories.
The book also discusses, in general terms, a resulting simulation environment
and software suite. The book is not, however, intended to be a manual, or
companion work for the software.
