Passive Jelly Browser
Assothink is:
- a new model of Associative Artificial Intelligence
- a set of programs implementing this model (most are hidden servers)
Among the accessible programs are:
- the Passive Jelly Browser (described in this page, and accessible online here)
- the Active Jelly Browser (accessible online here)
Assothink model overview
Assothink is an attempt to create associative (thus completely non-numeric) artificial intelligence. It is assumed that natural intelligences do not use computing devices: they perform various 'intelligent' tasks through simpler association processes.
The assothink model manages:
- the passive jelly containing:
- units
- concepts (language independant, unnamable but definable objects)
- percepts (language linked, lemmas, close to concepts and linked to them)
- variants (language lined, flections, linked to percepts)
- links between units
- qualified links (structured links, the connecting object being a concept)
- fuzzy links (with variable permeability)
- units
- the active jelly containing
- excitation levels for all concepts, involving
- excitation transition effects
- excitation resonance effects
- focused consciences organized in tree
- excitation levels for all concepts, involving
Understanding the information displayed in the passive browser
The information displayed in the browser window is organized in units (displayed as bubbles) and links.
Bubbles are used to show:
- concepts
- percepts
- variants
Links (qualified and fuzzy) are used to connect the bubble units.
Moving the mouse on bubble units or links provide more detailed information of the focused objects.
The colors used for the bubbles make it easy to distinguish concepts, english and french percepts and variants. And the colors used to underline the words allow to distinguish categories:
- noun
- verb
- adjective
- adverb
- quantity
- relation
- category
User actions
When using the browser the user will explore detailed information by moving the mouse onto objects.
He can also:
- click on an object, to make it the new center of exploration.
- enter a word in the (lower left) text area (english or french). If no word is found, closest suggested words will be displayed.
- click on the (lower right) backward / forward buttons for history navigation
- click on the (lower right) random button to explore a random concept
- click on the "Doc & Help" button to reach this wiki page
- enter .XXX where XXX is the reference
