The cognitive synergy principle describes the behavior of a system as it pursues a set of goals (which in most cases may be assumed to be supplied to the system “a priori’, but then refined by inference and other processes). The assumed intelligent agent model is roughly as follows: At each time the system chooses a set of procedures to execute, based on its judgments regarding which procedures will best help it achieve its goals in the current context. These procedures may involve external actions (e.g. involving conversation, or controlling an agent in a simulated world) and/or internal cognitive actions. In order to make these judgments it must effectively manage declarative, procedural, episodic, sensory and attentional memory, each of which is associated with specific algorithms and structures as depicted in the diagram. There are also global processes spanning all the forms of memory, including the allocation of attention to different memory items and cognitive processes, and the identification and reification of system-wide activity patterns (the latter referred to as “map formation”) Table 8.5: default |Table will go here| Table 8.6: Key OpenCogPrime cognitive processes categorized according to knowledge type and process type HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013063
