Are you a pretty skeptical person, averse to wild claims on the Net?
Perhaps the very wildest pre-Y2K claim on Usenet is that Robot AI is
a-bornin' at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/7256/m-forth.html
in a public-domain program called Mind.forth written in 30K of Forth:
Screen # 16 ram:10decB4th
--------------------------------
0 \ Will be a "BOOTSTRAP" screen in later versions. 981210atm
1 : BOOTSTRAP
2 CR ." BOOTSTRAP Scr #16: Instantiating psi{ } mindcore."
3 ; \ BOOTSTRAP returns to MIND Scr #29.
4
5 \ 10dec1998: Today Mind.forth AI has gone through a major over-
6 \ haul and a slight advance -- the stubbing in of "BOOTSTRAP".
7 \ The bootstrap will instantiate primitive mindcore concepts
8 \ such as self ("I"), other ("you"), number, negation, action,
9 \ etc., in a potentially polyglot mindgrid of three levels deep:
10 \ mindcore lexicon + syntax sensorium
11 \ uk{ } LANG-UK ear{ }
12 \ de{ } LANG-DE eye{ }
13 \ psi{ } fr{ } LANG-FR nose{ }
14 \ jp{ } LANG-JP skin{ }
15 \ ru{ } LANG-RU tongue{ }
--------------------------------
Computer architects please take note: Mind.forth AI incorporates
the road ahead towards a convergence of mental and machine design.
