The CINDY Cognitive Architecture

The CINDY cognitive architecture is work in progress. The goal is to design and implementation of an emergent artificial cognitive system that builds on the principles of growth and development through circular causality, sharing many of the principles of the field of Systems Dynamics. It features

• exogenous and endogenous attention (both overt and covert)
• joint perceptuo-motor representations (e.g. joint episodic-procedural memory)
• value-system driven development
• action selection based on internal simulation
