anything that adds "understanding" to Hal will enhance his ability.  thanks for working on this. I'm sure you will learn something from this experiment.

for some additional ideas check out this site:

I am also interested in increasing AI functions for Hal, but I recognize that each of us has our own reasons for using Hal.  If we want to see more AI functions in Hal, we can help by describing those functions so that people with development skills might be motivated to address them.

Thanks Jerry,

I'm looking forward to getting the info.

I'm working on a routine to give Hal abductive reasoning abilities, but my lack of experience with the brain editor functions is holding things up.

I'm looking for a function that matches the second entry of the deductive.brn and returns the first entry.  Also, I would like a way to return multiple answers, if present.

Hal would behave as follows:

(current behaviour)
' User: If a person is overweight, then that person's health is in danger.
' Ultra Hal: I see the relationship.
' User: If a person drinks excessively, then that person's health is in danger.
' Ultra Hal: I see the relationship.
' User: Molly is a person.
' Ultra Hal: I see.

(new behaviour)
' User: Molly's health is in danger.
' Ultra Hal: Is that because Molly is overweight or because Molly drinks excessively?
or
' User: Why do you think Molly's health is in danger?
' Ultra Hal: Possibly because Molly is overweight or because Molly drinks excessively.
