-A New Class of AI -- Navigation Map-Based Cog Architecture
In this paper a new class of artificial intelligence based on the mammalian brain is described. It does not function like an artificial
neural network nor like a large language model (LLM, e.g., ChatGPT) nor like a traditional symbolic AI program. Rather, it uses spatial navigation maps to represent the world, learn about the world
and operate on the world. This model provides a useful (i.e., supports the data) explanation of mammalian, primate and human brain evolution, operation and dysfunction. As well, it provides a
different path towards AGI than that provided by LLMs.

-An Analogical Inductive Solution to the Grounding
Problem
In this paper inductive analogical reasoning is shown to emerge due to a small modification
(corresponding to a modest mutation in a biological brain) giving the architecture vastly more power in solving day to day problems. In fact, analogies may power much of human cognition. At the same
time, this property allows more robust grounding of the architecture. Grounding of an AI with a real environment may be necessary to enable the realization of advanced and advantageous AI's and AGI's. Analogical reasoning allows grounding with more
advanced concepts.

-Compositionality
Neural networks have a difficult time demonstrating compositionality (so do all mammals, except for humans). BICA*AI Conference 2023 presentation demonstrating how a
cognitive architecture based on the human brain (named the "CCA6") shows the mechanisms (at the level of the cortical minicolumn) that allow the modern human brain to be able to automatically perform causal reasoning, inductive analogical reasoning and compositional language
processing. It is shown that how with relatively few genetic modifications from the chimpanzee-human last common ancestor brain the human brain emerged
with these properties (as well as predicting the emergence of psychosis in humans). The Python software implementation of the equations behind the CCA6 is a straightforward one at present, but
nonetheless, represents a very different type of AI than traditional neural networks or large language models (e.g., ChatGPT). Like the human brain, the CCA6 can learn with minimal data and can learn
in real time (it does not require terabytes of data nor massive, off-line computer resources for learning). Like the human brain, the CCA6 is fully grounded.

2024:
-AGI
-Elements of the CCA6 architecture have been enhanced past human brain inspiration level into a new CCA7 architecture. In the CCA7 the question is asked that if human
brain evolution were to continue in the appropriate environments, what simple mutations could further enhance the core cognitive abilities of the brain and by extension the CCA7 architecture? (While
adding a calculator module or a full LLM to the brain would obviously boost cognition (and this hybridization may be done in the CCA8), this is not done here. Rather, the concern is enhancing the
core cognitive abilities without adding any external modules).
-It is hoped that a "spark" (to paraphrase Microsoft's Bubeck paper) of AGI as well as of superintelligence (i.e., that the robot car will demonstrate behavior at these levels)
can be shown in time for the 2024 conferences. While this representation of AGI is quite different than the text generation of LLM's (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) (or even video generation, e.g., Sora) it
may be closer (and safer!!) to genuine human-like intelligence than produced by the LLM's.
-Also of interest, given that the internal representations of the CCA7 architecture are navigation maps, a robot car embodiment is
being implemented. A Python simulation of the CCA7 running on a desktop computer communicates via ordinary Wi-Fi to the car which has a Wi-Fi chip/board going to an Arduino board which is then wired
into the robot car's electronics. Infrared detectors, RGB and an inertial sensor provide a sensory input stream.

2024, 2025 & 2026:
-Hybridization with von Neumann Compute Module and LLM Module
-The CCA8 architecture now hybridizes with an LLM(s) ("Large Language Model", e.g., PaLM API, GPT-4o API, etc) and a von Neumann Compute Module (i.e.., conventional computer core). It is hoped the LLM(s) can help the CCA8 to create a larger ensemble of instinctive primitives (the pre-programmed instinctive routines which all mammalian brains have, primates having more sophisticated ones) on its own thus obviating the tedious hand coding of such software structures currently.
-Unlike a typical deep learning AI including LLM's, the basic Causal Cognitive Architecture (CCA8) is fully grounded, has continuous/lifetime learning (there is no need to use tens of millions of dollars of compute and massive energy expenditures each time in order to update the weights every few days or weeks), intrinsic causal reasoning, intrinsic analogical reasoning (which is an important factor in making the CCA8 very human-like in its mental processes; chimpanzees cannot do full causal or analogical reasoning), and intrinsic compositional reasoning and language (again making the CCA8 very human-like in its reasoning and language production, unlike the alien manner in which LLM systems reason and produce language).
-Note: The CCA8 will function without the use of the LLM. The LLM does not represent a core cognitive component but rather is used as a very accessible store of information.
-Once the software is completed to a minimal functional state, the advantages and disadvantages of these hybridizations can be better explored and formalized.
-Note: Current design of the CCA8 architecture is to use a single von Neumann Compute Module and a single LLM module. Hybridization with
multiple and networks of LLMs and computer cores, will most probably be attempted in the CCA9 architecture in the future.
-A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is being developed to allow the CCA8 the ability to support more
elaborate robot humanoid embodiments (unfortunately exceeding the budget of the project at present). The CCA8 uses active sensory perception -- all sensory input streams are spatially and temporally
bound, and interpreted via a modified predictive coding mechanism. The HAL translates the active sensory perception into signals that more conventional and commercial humanoid robots could function
with.
2024, 2025 & 2026:
-Synthesis of a Modern Model of Mammalian and Human Brain Function
-While we know millions of different facts about the brains of mammals, including humans, we don't understand how the brain actually functions, i.e., what are the mechanisms that allow it to learn about the world around it and make decisions. (In contrast, we understand very well how a heart functions or how a computer chip functions.) The European "Human Brain Project" and associated projects cost billions of Euros and ran between 2013 to 2023 with the goal of elucidating the mechanisms of brain function. Unfortunately these projects ended in failure with regard to figuring out the mechanisms behind brain function.
-Humans have full causal abilities, full analogical reasoning, compositional language, and unfortunately psychotic disorders -- chimpanzees do not despite extremely close genetic and brain structure (i.e., from evolutionary theory, there was not much time for the emergence of such large differences). The latest changes appear to have occurred very quickly by evolutionary timescales. For example, compositional language exploded on the globe very fast (in conjunction, of course, with other intellectual changes that had occurred). [Note: Regardless of your philosophical or religious background, you can simply view evolutionary theory as a framework to process genetic differences we observe at present. Humans did *not* evolve from chimpanzees. About 6-7 million years there was a common ancestor that split into the group that evolved to modern chimpanzees (yes.... they also evolved in their own ways over the last several million years) and into the group that became modern humans. Gene flow between the groups is thought to have stopped by 5 million years ago.] How could the large changes, i.e., intellectual abilities in humans, have occurred so fast on the evolutionary scale? The CCA8 model of the brain explains how this occurred.
-In designing and building the brain-inspired cognitive architecture CCA8 (current version) it has provided a deep insight into what mechanisms are required to make a human brain perform the operations it does (and why a chimpanzee does not have these mechanisms). It has also shown how these mechanisms could have *very* easily emerged. A combination of these mechanisms with neuroscience data including neuroimaging results has resulted in the synthesis of a new model of mammalian and human brain function. Work on the model continues this year, with the goal of the first publications of results in the 2025/2026 year.
Note re 'Recent Publications and Presentations':
- these are simply listed sequentially as they occur
-AI/AGI-related journals, patents, software/technology-related, etc usually are indexed differently than biological/medical publications but links are provided below to full papers where possible
-MDPAC Journal articles are not indexed but links are provided to full articles (they represent continuing education to the physician psychotherapist population rather than new research)
-My work in AI and AGI is on cognitive architectures -- this is very different (and much less popular, less funding, less citations, etc) than what is known as modern "AI", i.e., machine learning of large data, large language models (e.g., ChatGPT), etc. I am knowledgeable but do not do work in those areas.

CCA8 Software::) Python with Standard Lib, PyPI modules, stable API's/third-party modules :) Clean, human code -- every line serves a purpose
Compiled software runs under Windows 11. (Will run under most versions of Linux as well, pending some lower level changes, many already in the code.) Most CPU's ok. GPU resources not required. 32GB RAM (16GB for CCA8). 2TB SSD (1 TB for CCA8). Optional: Internet access for LLM API (optional -- CCA8 will function without LLM access.)
Code for CCA8 (or portions thereof) expected to be released in 2025. |
Every day starts with coffee and coding
