II. Purpose of the AI4U Textbook PraeScium Latin Mind-Module

The mindboot sequence serves many purposes at the heart of a concept-based artificial intelligence. Chief among them is the function of demonstrating a proof-of-concept AI by enabling the artificial Mind to think immediately upon being run as an AI program. As the earliest conceptual AI Minds evolve and mature into greater sophistication, they must necessarily lose more and more of the mindboot sequence until they become like a human baby with an empty, tabula rasa knowledge base (KB) that must learn everything by experience.


III. Algorithm of the AI4U Textbook PraeScium module

In the knowledge-base (KB) portion, we will want Latin ideas containing important vocabulary.


IV. Contents of the PraeScium bootstrap sequence

    ---- Allows spreading activation from "naturam";

  • [wed24apr2019] Natura non facit saltum -- "Nature does not make a leap".
    ---- Example of the negation of a verb;
    ---- May show "sideways" spreading activation upon input of "saltum";
    ---- May show "actpsi" activation if another sentence ends with "NATURA".

  • [2019-05-07] Ego intelligo te -- "I understand you".
    ---- Lets default concept of "I" eventually spread activation to "you".
    ---- Allows prompting of self-description from users.
