Reinforcement Learning & Compassionate A.I.
This is rather abstract. There is an agent with a goal, a sensor, and an actor. Occasionally, the agent uses a model of the environment.

The agent’s policy Read the full article…

By using distributed, non-linear processing akin to broader MNPs (see The Broadness of Subconceptual Patterns), A.I. could move toward a deeper form of ‘thinking’ that incorporates both cognitive flexibility Read the full article…
