http://www.newciv.org/Mentifex/ Project Mentifex (theoretical
neurobiology of cognition) contains five text files and ASCII diagrams
of a linguistic theory of mind as part of a public domain project in
artificial intelligence (AI). Help is sought in mapping the theory of
mind onto actual brain structures. You do not need to associate
yourself with Project Mentifex (Latin for Mind-Maker) to do such
mapping -- only your independent intellectual activity is sought. If
this project seems dubious to you, please check out its heretofore
progress by submitting the query word "Mentifex" to the
http://www.altavista.digital.com AltaVista or the
http://www.hotbot.com HotBot search engines. Please also help this
independent scholarship by adding links to the Mentifex URL within
other Web sites. Thank you.
