The Novamente AI Engine is briefly reviewed. The overall architecture is unique, drawing on system-theoretic ideas regarding complex mental dynamics and associated emergent patterns. We describe how these are facilitated by a novel knowledge representation which allows diverse cognitive processes to interact effectively. We then elaborate the two primary cognitive algorithms used to construct t...

Humans can construct powerful mental programs for many domains never seen before. We address the questions of how this occurs, and how it could possibly be accomplished in software. Section one surveys a theory of natural understanding, as follows. One understands a domain when one has mental programs that can be executed to solve problems arising in the domain. Evolution created compact progra...
