These concepts are still in development and high susceptible to change. Use the provided terms, definitions, and types with caution.

The Understanding System (a.k.a Understanding Core) is a CoreSense module for generating understanding within a CoreSense agent. The main idea is to:

Intuition

Find strategies of Engine exertions to create required Modelets.

TODO

Add a map of the concepts or something more elegant here... We should also include the triangle of meaning.

Types

agent

A CoreSense agent which may posess engines and modelets.

datatype

A precise information encoding that is taken as granted.

engine

Does work within a CoreSense agent to produce modelets.

exertion

Check if a modelet matches a template.

extent

A 4-dimensional size (3 space, 1 time).

formalism

The language and structure in which a phenomenon could be described.

modelet

Models a phenomenon as the thought in the triangle of meaning.

modelet_set

Some particular set of modelets which the has reasoner assembled.

origin

An agent's perspective on the phenomenon captured in a particular modelet.

phenomenon

Some space or object or being or process in the real world that the system represents using modelets.

property

A specific characteristic of a modelet or engine.

requirement

A restriction on the property values that a template may enforce on a modelet.

representation_class

The purpose of a modelet (extrinsic to itself) when used by an engine.

spacetime_point

4-dimensional coordinates (3 space, 1 time).

strategy

A succession of exertions of engines connects modelets.

template

Describes the features that a single modelet should have for an engine to accept it as input.

template_set

Some particular set of templates which describe the inputs to an engine.

concept

An instance of a class of phenomenon in the agent's world model.
