public domain artificial intelligence for robots is now available
for downloading to your IBM-clone PC and for porting to additional
programming languages. Here is some documentation of the "MIND":
For lack of Massively Parallel Programming (MPP), the main
loop MIND must cycle one-by-one through the modalities
(functions) of a thinking mind.
The TABULARASA (Latin for "blank slate") subroutine provides
the empty memory space analogous to the brain of a newborn child.
The BOOTSTRAP subroutine loads up some initial concepts into
the three arrays of the mindcore "psi", the English lexicon "uk",
and the auditory memory "ear". Any item in the bootstrap has to
be carefully coordinated so as to have the right "flags" that
function as synaptic associative tags from one part of the
mindgrid to another part. Once the artificial mind is up and
running, the software will automatically create all the flags
which must so carefully be entered into the bootstrap by the
programmer.
The main loop MIND calls the LANG-UK subroutine in order to
think in English. There could also be additional natural language
subroutines for a multilingual AI for the purposes of Machine
Translation (MT) or simultaneous interpreting by a robot.
The MIND loop calls the ATTENTION subroutine in order to check and
see if a human user is trying to communicate by means of the keyboard
or by speech recognition. If there is no human user entering data,
the AI skips the SENSORIUM subroutine and composes another thought
of its own. Thus the AI could gradually learn reams of data, or
explore the Internet, or communicate with other AI entities.
Next there is a prompt for a human user to type in or speak
a message. This prompt must be in the main MIND loop and not
lower down in SENSORIUM because SENSORIUM serves not only user
input but also the "REENTRY" of the thoughts of the AI --
which do not need a prompt as a human user does.
The SENSORIUM subroutine is currently for the human user to type in
or speak a message, but SENSORIUM could branch out not only into the
five basic human senses but also into exotic and humanly impossible
senses that only a robot or cyborg could have.

Are you serious? Pardon my ignorance, but It sounds like applying AI terminology (?) to everyday concepts such as a terminal monitor program. From what little I know, which is little, true AI, whatever that is, will have to wait for petabyte rams and massively parallel megasystems OR molecular technology to imitate life structures such as computing DNA. And how did you get from teaching ballroom dancing to AI concerns? <g> Arthur T.
