Part 1 of the two-volume set on engineering AGI, focusing on the cognitive science perspective. Covers the theoretical foundations of cognitive synergy, embodied learning, and the integration of multiple AI approaches into a unified architecture.
Describes the CogPrime architecture that evolved into the PRIMUS cognitive architecture underlying Hyperon. The cognitive synergy principles articulated here — where different AI components assist each other in solving problems none could handle alone — remain central to Hyperon's design.
