2. Purpose of the InStantiate Module

The main purpose of the InStantiate module is to create a new time-bound instance of a concept in conceptual memory whenever the AI Mind processes a concept either as an element of input or as part of a thought being remembered or generated. Other purposes of InStantiate involve "trapping" or the special processing of input-concepts for the sake of special handling in other mind-modules such as the SpreadAct module for spreading activation.

3. Algorithm of the InStantiate AI Mind-Module

3.A. Instantiating time-bound associative nodes in the conceptual memory array.

When the AI Mind has either recognized an input word as an old concept or encountered a new word and is creating a new concept for the new word, InStantiate creates a new instance of the concept by attaching any available associative tags to a node of the concept at the time-point of the advancing front of consciousness. Some associative tags must be assigned retroactivately by InStantiate because a word of input may have an associative relationship to another word that has not yet arrived as additional input. For instance, a conceptual node for a verb of input may need the retroactive addition of an associative tag for the object of the verb, which arrives in the AI Mind not simultaneously with the verb, but slightly delayed.

3.B. Activating old associative nodes for a concept.

3.B.1. Inhibiting a current node while activating older nodes.

InStantiate imparts a modest level of activation to the previous nodes of a known concept stretching back over the conceptual MindGrid in such a way as to create a trough of inhibition for the most recent instantiation of the concept, so that old ideas involving the concept may contribute to thinking and so that current thoughts, being immediately inhibited, may yield to remembered thoughts or to the results of automated reasoning by means of logical inference.

3.B.2. Spreading activation sideways from old associative nodes of a concept.

Already in the ghost.pl AI and upcoming in the Forth and JavaScript AI Minds, InStantiate passes activation sideways from a newly activated concept to other concepts associated in the past with the concept for which a fresh associative node is being instantiated. If the AI Mind is familiar with a noun like "DICE" only as the direct object of a verb in memory, the sideways spread of activation makes it possible for a human user to input the one noun and to observe that the AI uses the sideways spread of activation to remember and output a thought like "GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE".

3.C. Trapping the input of interrogative words requiring a query-response.

Besides assigning associative tags, InStantiate also sets various conditional flags for dealing with special inputs such as query-words or adverbs of negation, such as "not".

5. Variables for the InStantiate AI Mind-Module

$audpsi -- -- concept number of word in @ear auditory memory array.

$finlen -- fin(al) len(gth) or end-of-word for AudRecog auditory recognition module.

$hlc -- human-language code; 1=en; 2=de; 3=ru. May eventually be ubject to override by the $engov or $degov or $rugov flag.

$j -- secondary index beyond "i" for the first inner loop of InStantiate code that implements sideways spreading activation so that the input of a word may cause the activation of not only the word itself in conceptual memory, but also of other concepts associated with the input-word. Since one loop is already searching backwards in time for instances of the input-word in memory using "i" for "index", a different variable must be used to loop through a separate search for any associated concepts when the input-word is found in memory. Then a second inner loop must be based on yet another index variable for yet another associated concept.

$jux -- jux(taposed) concept in @psy array, especially the word "NOT" to negate a verb.

$midway -- dynamically adjustable time-limit for searching backwards in the experiential memory of the AI.

$moot -- – as in legally moot – is a flag to prevent the formation of associative tags during mental operations which are not truly a part of cognition, such as the processing of an input query, the formation of a silent inference, or the creation of an output query.

$oldpsi -- used in OldConcept to de-globalize "psi"

$pos -- (part of speech) with a numeric value (1=adj 2=adv 3=conj 4=interj 5=noun 6=prep 7=pron 8=verb) to be inserted into the conceptual flag-panel of a concept during the process of instantiation of a concept-node at a particular time-point. The part-of-speech parameter allows an AI Mind to restrict operations to one particular part of speech, such as verb, or to similar parts of speech, such as nouns and pronouns to be used as subjects or objects of a verb.

$pov -- point-of-view: 1=self; 2=dual; 3=alien. When pov=1, the word "you" is somebody in the external word. When pov=2, the word "you" refers to the self-concept "I" in the AI. When pov=3, the word "you" is interpreted as part of a conversation by a third-party or as a word in a text, not referring to the self-concept of either the AI or of someone talking to the AI.

$prc -- provisional recognition in AudRecog()

$pre -- pre(vious) associated @psy concept.

$prejux -- -- previous $jux to carry "NOT" to a verb. If the adverb "not" passes through the OldConcept module in the process of the negation of a verb, the "prejux" variable holds the value for negation and passes it as "jux" to the flag-panel of the verb being negated.

$prevpsi -- a value-holder to be used by InStantiate to cancel an imputed Russian BeVerb which has been tentatively instantiated after the input of a noun or pronoun potentially serving as the subject of an imputed verb of being. For instance, if someone begins a sentence in Russian with a noun like "The teacher...", it is not yet known whether the intended verb will be a be-verb like "is" or some ordinary verb like "plays (chess)". The AI software must instantiate an imputed verb of being in case the next input word is something like a noun or an adjective, and not a normal verb. But if a normal verb is indeed the next word of input, the imputed be-verb must be discarded in favor of the real verb, and the "prevpsi" identifier will help the AI program to declare that the "seq" of the Russian subject is the real verb, and not the momentarily imputed verb of being.

$prevtag -- local pre(vious) tag for use in InStantiate(). After a noun or a verb has been instantiated, $prevtag holds its concept-number ready to be inserted as a $pre tag, if needed, during the instantiation of a succeeding concept. Thus a verb can have a $pre back to its subject, and a direct object can have a $pre back to a verb.

$psi -- variable for an element of the @psy conceptual array, with a numeric identifier serving as an mtx tag for the same concept in another language.

$qucon -- query-condition – segregates SpreadAct() code to respond to input who-queries.

$qv2psi -- concept for SpreadAct to seek as a verb, so that the AI may remember ideas containing the same verb.

$qv4psi -- concept for SpreadAct to seek as a direct object, so that the AI may use the target concept as a subject or as a direct object in the remembrance of ideas.

$qvdocon -- query-condition for who+verb+direct-object – segregates SpreadAct() code to respond to input queries similar in form to "Who makes robots?"

$rv -- recall-vector for auditory memory. The time-point value of rv is first set in the AudInput module after an intervening space when the first character of an input-word is being passed into the AudMem module. The recall-vector rv is reset to zero in AudInput after a call to OldConcept or to NewConcept.

$seqneed -- an obsolescent flag to indicate whether a (pro)noun or verb is needed as a "seq" to be recorded retroactively within the flag-panel of a word that has already been instantiated as a subject or as a verb.

$tbev -- -- time of be-verb for use with negjux negation-flag. In the OldConcept module, tbev is set for any 800=BE verb and is used for inserting a jux of 250=NOT into the flag-panel of a negated be-verb. The tbev flag may be reset to zero in the Sensorium module after any input has been processed by the AudInput module.

$tpu -- time-pen-ultimate before current I/O (input and output).

$tult -- t penultimate, or time-minus-one.

$tvb -- time-of-verb for parsing. The EnParser module sets "t - 1" as the tvb if the word being parsed is a verb by part-of-speech. InStantiate uses the time-of-verb tvb to fill the tkb-slot in a verb-panel with the time-location of the direct object of the verb. EnParser uses the time-of-verb tvb to find the numeric verb-concept that will be the pre of a direct object being parsed. EnParser also uses the time-of-verb tvb to store the time-of-direct-object tdo as the tkb in the flag-panel of the verb. Therefore the tvb-flag needs to be reset to zero not during but after AudInput, when program-flow has returned to the Sensorium module.

$usx -- a transfer variable for InStantiate to transfer the concept number of an incoming noun to whichever us1-us7 upstream variable is up next in the rotation of up to seven recently mentioned noun-concepts, so that the EnArticle module may insert the definite article "the" before any noun currently under discussion in a conversation or an internal thought.

$whatcon -- SpreadAct() flag for condition of answering a what-query

$whocon -- flag for condition of answering a who-query. The InStantiate module sets whocon to a positive one ("1") when the input of the interrogative pronoun "who" is detected.
