Summary

Introduces the OpenCogPrime architecture and the concept of cognitive synergy — where multiple AI algorithms cooperate to solve problems none could handle individually.

Relevance to Hyperon

The cognitive synergy principle remains central to Hyperon's PRIMUS architecture. This paper is the clearest articulation of why integrating PLN, MOSES, ECAN, and other components yields emergent intelligence.
