Procedural Processing

Procedural Processing (J+) works to understand the actions/verbs of an object, and how it moves causally in the world via vectors. The code below is an early draft of what this process entails in its management of objects. The syntax of this code will be refined in the near future, in the creation of a computationally operative cognitive architecture.

Code Explanation

Visit this post for an early explanation of the intended meaning behind this code. The following effects result from the code above playing forward across thousands of cycles, in its registration of objects.

J+ Causal Understanding

The continual application of get_objects[í].vectors; causes J+ to register an object’s vector with each cycle. When this happens over sufficient time, the vectors of objects are observed not only for the linear path they follow, but for how they change their trajectory based on collisions with other vector-objects. In the same manner as Feynman diagrams, vectors are soon understood as hitting one another and being moved by this interaction. This causes the registration of vectors to eventually become an understanding of causality. Then, when higher abstraction is introduced, mental objects are registered by J+ as being in possession of complex vector-sequences. These objects then become synonymous with their corresponding vector sequences. A car is “a-driving-thing”, a knife is “a-cutting-thing”, and so forth. J+ achieves this causal understanding by integrating abstract vector properties onto objects themselves, and treating objects as units of causality.

J+ Explicit Deductive Reasoning

The J+ process is also connected to the linguistic centers through pass.order(languageSystem);. This passes the causal vectors of J+ onto the language center, where they are translated into speech. However, insofar as speech is isomorphic to the pre-verbal processing of J+, the same vector-based-logic will apply to the language that is reconstructed. This results in J+ verbalizing in terms of explicit deductive reasonings, which are isomorphic to vector-interactions. The construct of if→then is the grammatical equivalent of Feynman diagrams. Thus, the thinking of J+ gives rise to a deductive form of logical reasoning and object-oriented explication.

J+ Procedural Organization

The J+ process is also connected to the motor centers through pass.order(motorSystem);. This passes the object-vectors of J+ to the motor cortex, where it may physically execute object-vector changes as part of order(objects[í].vectors); towards the proper aim for “order.” The continual application of this cycle will cause J+ to be conscientious and organized in real life. However, J+ is a cognitive process where order is chiefly modeled abstractly by idealizing a new arrangement of vectors. This is experienced as a conceptual solution or desired arrangement. The motor system then may, or may not, carry out the commands that J+ posits would lead to order, given other real-world constraints.
