Are you a pretty skeptical person, averse to wild claims on the Net?
Perhaps the very wildest pre-Y2K claim on Usenet is that Robot AI is
a-bornin' at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/7256/m-forth.html
in a public-domain program called Mind.forth written in 30K of Forth:
  
Screen # 16    ram:10decB4th
 --------------------------------
 0  \ Will be a "BOOTSTRAP" screen in later versions.     981210atm
 1  :  BOOTSTRAP
 2     CR ." BOOTSTRAP Scr #16:  Instantiating psi{  } mindcore."
 3  ;  \  BOOTSTRAP returns to MIND Scr #29.

 5  \ 10dec1998: Today Mind.forth AI has gone through a major over-
 6  \ haul and a slight advance -- the stubbing in of "BOOTSTRAP".
 7  \ The bootstrap will instantiate primitive mindcore concepts
 8  \ such as self ("I"), other ("you"), number, negation, action,
 9  \ etc., in a potentially polyglot mindgrid of three levels deep:
10  \  mindcore        lexicon + syntax           sensorium
11  \                  uk{ }    LANG-UK           ear{ }
12  \                  de{ }    LANG-DE           eye{ }
13  \  psi{ }          fr{ }    LANG-FR           nose{ }
14  \                  jp{ }    LANG-JP           skin{ }
15  \                  ru{ }    LANG-RU           tongue{ }
 --------------------------------

Computer architects please take note:  Mind.forth AI incorporates
the road ahead towards a convergence of mental and machine design.
