Recognition Trilogy vs. Cognition Trilogy
December 5, 2018
You would be correct to call the "occipital trilogy (recognition)" the "occipital trilogy (cognize)". It just seems a better fit to say "recognition trilogy" than the "cognize trilogy" as most of the work is re-cognizing information. And the occipital trilogy is mostly about recognition. This is one area where I just ran out of good words to use.
Moved sensors, controllers and actuators for better clarification
December 8, 2018
I placed some parentheses and brackets around the words sensors, controllers and actuators. This should clarify that these are physical things and not algorithms.
Moods and Feelings
June 12, 2019
In the limbic trilogy, sensory knowledge is equal to essences, moods and feelings. As the limbic trilogy loops around, the essences turn into moods and the moods turn into feelings. This is a gradually increasing skill.
However, one could argue that moods are longer lasting than feelings and that feelings make up one's moods.
As information loops around trilogies it will either increase in meaning as the sensory regions and cognitive regions do, or it will decrease in meaning and become very specific as the behavioral regions do.
I think that the mood one is in affects the feelings of other information created during this mood. Thus, you are free to rearrange moods with feelings. I rearranged words and definitions of this model for years until I was happy with the result. If a better word or better definition fits, then please use it. The new word will not change the overall structure of the model.
Controllers
October 11, 2019
I need to update some of the confusion surrounding controllers. I will continuously update certain parts of this website to reflect my current understanding of what a controller is, what it does and how to structure a controller.
Currently, "...a controller compares sequential beliefs coming from the sensory plan region. The comparison will create an abstraction. One controller may compare the pathway of a neural net. Another may compare the terminals of a neural net..."
This definition sounds more like a "comparer" than a "controller". However, you might want to structure a controller that makes sure your algorithms are following the same set of rules over and over again with no deviations.
An algorithm is a set of rules. A specific controller makes sure the algorithm is following those rules.
Again, a controller barely influences the flow of information. A controller might be a battery tester that doesn't drain the battery very much but can let you know if the battery goes from 12.4 volts to 12.3 volts.
Electrical Controllers
January 15, 2024
Needed to rewrite an awful paragraph on electrical controllers on the Basics 1 page.
Electrical controllers are complicated. A circuit is a closed path of wires, switches, and a power source. These individual things are actuators and exist somewhere on or near a mechanical actuator. A controller works alongside this circuit of actuators. The switch will open or close this path. An electric controller is not a switch that opens or closes the path in the circuit. The electrical controller processes sequential electron flow on this circuit. It will form an abstraction of 1 if there is electron flow and will form an abstraction of 0 if there is no electron flow. It can also form an abstraction of any number in between 0 and 1. The controller is making continuous sequential comparisons. If there is reduced electron flow, then the controller will make a comparison of the old electron flow of let's say 1 with the new electron flow of .95 and form an abstraction of -.05 or something like that. If the next abstraction is -.06 then the sentient robot can cognize, recognize, and discern this event. The sentient robot will have formed a cognition or realization of a resistance in its circuit.
Cognitions
January 15, 2024
Needed to rewrite this on the How To page.
Cognitions of the pinprick are formed using the single-multiple association of controllers. The controllers in a robot's brain need to be structured for single cognitive inputs like what is going on in a certain pathway. But also structured for multiple cognitive inputs ("terminals") of pathways that are relevant in representing multiple pieces of information that led to the cognition of this pinprick. A single controller will recognize the pinprick pathway, but the full cognition would need the information coming from the relevant multiple "terminal" controllers. For example, were any limb actuators obstructed when the pinprick occurred? The robot could then discern if this was a simple pinprick or a harsh pinprick.
