Next Development Directions - Implementation Summary
Overview
This implementation continues the work from issue #9 by completing all four major Next Development Directions for the Enhanced Relevance Realization (RR) framework with OpenCog AtomSpace integration.
Implemented Features
1. Advanced PLN Integration ✅
File: include/pln_integration.hpp
- PLN Truth Values: Complete implementation with strength/confidence pairs
- Inference Rules:
- Deduction: A→B, A ⊢ B
- Abduction: A→B, B ⊢ A (with reduced confidence)
- RR Pattern Implications: Automatic generation of implications from high-coupling agent-arena relationships
- Full Inference Cycle: Integrated PLN reasoning over membrane structures
Key Methods:
performDeduction()- Forward chaining inferenceperformAbduction()- Hypothesis generationgenerateRRImplications()- Create logical structures from RR dynamics
2. Enhanced Scheme Interface ✅
File: include/scheme_interface.hpp
- Interactive REPL: Full Scheme-style command evaluation
- Command Set: 8+ commands for system exploration and manipulation
- Pattern Matching: Query and analyze both RR and AtomSpace structures
- Real-time Updates: Modify system state through Scheme commands
Available Commands:
(list-rr-nodes) - List all RR nodes with properties
(list-atoms) - Show AtomSpace contents
(get-system-relevance) - Compute overall system relevance
(run-pln-inference) - Execute PLN reasoning cycle
(find-patterns) - Detect emergent patterns
(get-salience node-ID) - Query node salience
(update-salience node-ID VALUE) - Modify node properties
(find-atom "NAME") - Search atoms by name3. Persistent AtomSpace ✅
File: include/persistent_atomspace.hpp
- JSON Serialization: Complete save/load for AtomSpace state
- RR Hypergraph Persistence: Serialize all RR dynamics and structure
- Incremental Learning: Merge new experiences with existing knowledge
- Memory Consolidation: Remove low-confidence atoms to optimize storage
Key Features:
- Robust JSON export/import for atoms, truth values, and relationships
- RR node serialization including trialectic states and affordances
- Automatic memory management and knowledge consolidation
- Demonstrated persistence across program runs
4. Multi-Level Integration ✅
Distributed across: relevance_realization.hpp, atomspace_integration.hpp, test files
- Hierarchical Structures: Support for nested membrane architectures
- Cross-Level Emergence: Detection of patterns spanning multiple hierarchy levels
- Temporal Reasoning: Track relevance evolution over time
- Multi-Scale Dynamics: Coordinated RR updates across system levels
Capabilities:
- Nested agent-arena-relation structures
- Emergence detection between hierarchical levels
- Temporal trend analysis for system evolution
- Cross-level coherence measurement
Core Improvements
AtomSpace Integration Fixes
- Duplicate Prevention: Smart atom updating instead of creation
- Truth Value Synchronization: Proper mapping between RR properties and AtomSpace truth values
- Memory Efficiency: Reduced redundant atom creation
RR Dynamics Enhancements
- Stability: Fixed negative divergence with epsilon-based relevance gradients
- Initialization: Better initial conditions for affordance realization
- Trialectic Coherence: Enhanced measurement of system coherence
Testing and Validation
