What are some computer programs with internal world models beyond Cyc and Soar?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for computer programs that possess an internal model of the world, specifically beyond established examples like Cyc and Soar. It acknowledges that while all computer programs represent some aspect of the world, creating a comprehensive model of the entire universe may be theoretically impossible due to the finite number of particles. The conversation suggests that the inquiry may relate more to knowledge representation, including areas such as language recognition. For further exploration, the term "Cognitive Architecture" is recommended as a starting point.

Does anybody know of computer programs that have an internal model of the world (other than Cyc and Soar)? Thanks.

All (well, never say _all_ I guess) computer programs are an internal model of some little bit of world... But if you mean the Whole Shooting Match, I don't think it's theoretically possible since the number of particles in the universe is finite.

But perhaps you mean some kind of "knowledge representation", maybe language recognition and the like. Wiki "Cognitive Architecture" for a start...

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
