Consider the following Latin sentence. "Frater viri scribit patri epistolam
manu in schola et expectat responsum." ("The brother of the man writes the
father a letter by hand in school and expects a response.") It contains the
five cases nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and ablative, plus a
preposition and a conjunction. In order to "lodge" or "remember" such a
sentence in the memory of an AI Mind, we need to outfit the AI program with
internal linkages or "associative tags" which connect all the concepts in
such a way as to render the Latin sentence "thinkable" when the AI program
is running.Although the Mens Latina at http://ai.neocities.org/Abracadabra.html was created only three months ago on Wednesday 2019-04-17 it was superimposed on an AI framework dating back twenty-six years to 1993. Today a major change has revamped the original AI framework. The first Mentifex AI Mind was written in Amiga ARexx and it had a conceptual flag-panel of basically three quasi-neurons: a "pre" tag for a previous concept; a "psi" verb; and a "seq" tag for the subsequent concept of the direct object of the English verb. Over the next twenty-five years from 1993 to 2018, more and more single tags were added to the conceptual flag-panel in order to implement various additional functions in the AI Mind. In 2016 the bilingual ghost.pl AI Mind in English and Russian became able to think with indirect objects and with English prepositions, so a flag-panel tag was added to hold indirectobjects. Although the Ghost in the Machine could understand an English preposition amid the stream of input, the storage and retrieval of prepositional phrases was handled in a makeshift manner. With the advent of the Latin AI in Anno Domini 2019, it became obviously necessary to expand the conceptual flag-panel with additional quasi-neurons capable of handling the declension of Latin nouns and adjectives in their five most basic cases, disregarding the vocative case and any vestigial locative case. The Mentifex programs of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) have gone beyond pre-AGI and into mid-AGI but are not yet post-AGI. Coding sessions of three hours yesterday and five hours today have revamped the JavaScript Mens Latina and brought it to a state of mid-AGI maturity where makeshift solutions no longerneed to be implemented. Since ancient Latin and modern Russian are very similar in their use of inflectional endings and not word-order to convey meaning, the now mature paradigm of Latin AI is translatable into Russian AI. The paradigm is mature in the sense that Russian and Latin thinking in the present tense is now possible for AI Minds dealing with complex sentences constructed from the most basic components of English or Latin or Russian grammar and vocabulary. The English AI Minds will be outfitted with the same expanded conceptual flag-panel and simply not use the special quasi-neuronal tags available for Russian and Latin. The MindForth Robot AI may acquire an even more expanded associative flag-panel for the handling of manifold sensory inputs from artificial sensors. Educational institutions are encouraged to offer Mentifex AI 101 courses. http://ai.neocities.org/AIEN.html -- "English AI 101"; http://ai.neocities.org/AILA.html -- "Latin AI 101"; http://ai.neocities.org/AIRU.html -- "Russian AI 101". ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T41abf1800d026522-Md0582861066b6e30b04bb63e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
