  Even the most ambitious AI project openly and publicly in existence,
<a href="http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/aisource.html"> Mind.forth </a>
  -- a designation which excludes the set of all military-sponsored
  and classified AI efforts conducted under veils of NSA/DARPA secrecy
  (about which please send news by courier to mentifex@scn.org) --
  welcomes the establishment by Pontelli, Rossi and Dovier of a
  reference point and forum of discussion promising to adumbrate
  the set-theoretical issues now cropping up within Mind.forth AI.

  In the artificial mind being created for robots, an associative
  tag from a single instance of a concept pre-activates an entire
  SET of concept nodes representing gangs of fibers in the brain:

  /^^^^^^^^^^^\ Syntax Strings Together a Thought /^^^^^^^^^^^\
 /visual memory\           ________   semantic   /  auditory   \
|      /--------|-------\ / syntax \  memory    |episodic memory|
|      |  recog-|nition | \________/------------|-------------\ |
|   ___|___     |       |     |flush-vector     |    _______  | |
|  /image  \    |     __|__  / \  _______       |   /stored \ | |
| / percept \   |    /     \/   \/ Verbs \------|--/ phonemes\| |
| \ engrams /---|---/ Nouns \    \_______/      |  \ of words/  |
|  \_______/    |   \_______/-------------------|---\_______/   |

  Chomskyan syntax in the AI mind routinely deals with the SET of
  all nouns and the SET of all verbs in stringing together ideas.

  As more and more robot-makers adopt Mind.forth AI as their "OS"
  for intelligent mobile robots, they will approach this Web site
  in search of high-level programming and specification languages.
