Applying Otoom

http://www.otoom.net/applyingotoom.htm

On the origin of Mind. The range of possible applications are as wide as the entire field of human affairs. To illustrate what can be done under Otoom the following example refers to a medium to large scale focus on the general nature of demographics. What are the major drivers of identity within a certain demographic? What information, plan, or initiative from the outside would be potentially dangerous due to these drivers? An analysis of the functional nature of the sources will explain their mutual re...

OSound programs

On the origin of Mind. AI Programs OSound programs. How does an artificial mind sound like? Below are several samples from the processes of the inner matrix of the OtoomCM program, followed by an explanation. In auto mode only up to 5 separate inputs via the input file are possible; the manual mode has no input limits. In this version three display areas can be saved as bitmap files during processing, and together with the resulting midi sound file can be used to make a video showing the progress in visu...

The Otoom fractal

http://www.otoom.net/otoomfractal.htm

On the origin of Mind. About The Otoom fractal. This particular fractal image is essentially a Mandelbrot set. A combination of several types of iterations have been used together with a certain choice of colour rendering to produce its somewhat unusual form. Such a system can also be described as a closed one, because each functional detail is sustained by the mutual dependencies making up the whole. At almost A3 size. At that resolution the above will become obvious.

OMo program

http://www.otoom.net/omoprogram.htm

On the origin of Mind. AI Programs OMo program. The program can be downloaded. Please read the manual! 1 Why the OMo program. Essentially OMo is a way to show how the computer model can be linked to an environment for a certain purpose. In this case it means having to move from one point in space to another. If you happen to be a CG animator the question is, what is the point with OMo? The conventional way is to attach a submodule that provides the input to the figure in order to simulate the environment...

On the origin of Mind. My life has been configured to pursue a number of projects, each one requiring planning, training, and execution; the rest are fill-ins. These projects are, in order of appearance:. Fly military jet planes (1966-72);. Search for and find diamonds in South America (1972-73);. Travel on an ocean-going sailing yacht (1975-83);. Do research and write a book on thought structures in society (1986-92);. In the course of these pursuits forty different countries. The LO.S. Newslett...Disco...

Parallels

http://www.otoom.net/parallels.htm

On the origin of Mind. These are events that confirm the usefulness of the mind model as outlined in " On the origin of Mind. There is no direct connection between them and the work, and mostly the players would have been completely unfamiliar with Otoom. They could be scenarios played out according to the inherent principles of cognitive behaviour, or they could be statements made by someone through information gained in some context. In 2011 alone there were 582,012; I cannot possibly check all of them...

Further developments

http://www.otoom.net/furtherdevelopments.htm

On the origin of Mind. Where to go from here? The functional perspective of Otoom makes the model applicable to a wide range of scenarios - whether the objects happen to be biological entities such as neurons or entire organisms, mental manifestations such as thought structures, or collective articulations on a societal level. Development has started on transposing the original OtoomCM program. Into a parallel format using CUDA. One major problem with simulations of any kind concerns what could be called...

For first-time visitors

http://www.otoom.net/firsttimevisitors.htm

On the origin of Mind. About For first-time visitors. Essentially there are two directions one can follow - the technical, computer-related path or one within the context of social science. A comprehensive introduction to the model in technical terms would be the paper How the mind works: the principle dynamics in the bio- and non-bio version. It explains the concept behind the computer program OtoomCM. Why and how it works, and what it means in terms of the cognitive dynamics forming the system of mind.

On the origin of Mind. AI Programs OtoomCM program. The complete guide to the Otoom computer model (OtoomCM) can be found in " On the origin of Mind. There its technical aspects, its functionalities, the behaviour under different conditions, and what it all means as a parallel to neuronal activities, are described throughout the relevant chapters. The program can be downloaded. Please read the manual! Following are the main points. An algorithm processes each element of a node with the corresponding elem...

OWorm program

http://www.otoom.net/owormprogram.htm

On the origin of Mind. AI Programs OWorm program. The purpose of the OWorm program is to demonstrate how the system underlying the OtoomCM can be used effectively to drive a virtual worm so it can find its 'food'. It is designed as a test bench to observe its behaviour under various conditions. What follows is a summary. For more detail see the article " The Worm has Turned: an Adaptation of a Mind Simulation. For more information on the OtoomCM see about the computer program OtoomCM. By conducting a ser...
