2. Purpose of the AI4U Textbook Volition Module

The purpose of the Volition mind-module is to integrate the feelings of emotion and the ideas of thinking to plan and launch motor initiatives in pursuit of goals.


3. Algorithm of the AI4U Textbook Volition Mind-Module

3.A. The Volition module combines the influence from Emotion and the deliberations from thinking to select and inititiate motor options learned and habituated in the Motorium module.

3.B. A chief characteristic of AI volition is the integrative nature of the will as it contemplates a candidate for action. Feelings or ideas in favor of a proposed initiative gradually move the Volition module towards the threshold of launching the motor execution of the proposed behavior, while contrary feelings and countervailing ideas delay or even prevent the launching of the motor initiative.

3.C. Without robot embodiment and access to actuators, each AI Mind is limited in its motor options to such paltry initiatives as sounding a beep or speaking its thoughts aloud. Further motor initiatives available to the unembodied AI may include the sending of e-mail; the surfing of the Web; and the intentional making of one or more copies of the AI Mind.

    Motorium();    # 2016apr29: for execution of the commands of Volition()
    $beep = 0;     # 2016apr29: reset the flag after each motor execution.
    $trigger = 0;  # 2016apr29: reset the trigger for a fresh integration.
  }  # 2016apr29: end of the integration of components to will an action.
} # 2016mar05: Volition() will return to the MainLoop of the AI.

5. Variables for the Volition Mind-Module

$beep -- flag for robot Motorium() module to create a beep.

$hlc -- human-language code; 1=en; 2=de; 3=ru. Subject to override by the $engov or $degov or $rugov flag.

$impetus -- an accumulating variable to hold the activation-level of a trigger to initiate action by the FreeWill Volition module.

$trigger -- a trigger for Volition() to call Motorium()


6. Troubleshooting and Debugging

6.1.a. Symptom: (Something goes wrong.)
6.1.b. Solution: (AI Mind Maintainer devises solution.)


7. Future Development

The AI software needs to be embodied in autonomous robots with a full complement of motor options available to the Volition module.
