Method Detail

isConsciousProcessingRequired

public boolean isConsciousProcessingRequired()

Determine if the thought should first wait for conscious thoughts to process the input.

awake

public void awake()

Add a listener to the memory to be notified when new active memory.

Specified by:

awake in interface Thought

Overrides:

awake in class BasicThought

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from class: BasicThought

Stop analysing network.

Specified by:

stop in interface Thought

Overrides:

stop in class BasicThought

think

public void think()

Analyze the active memory. Output the active article to the senses.

Specified by:

think in interface Thought

Overrides:

think in class BasicThought

processInput

public abstract boolean processInput(Vertex vertex,
                                     Network network)

Process the active memory in the isolated memory in the background. Return if memory should be saved, or discarded.

isConscious

public boolean isConscious()

Thoughts can be conscious or sub-conscious. A conscious thought is run by the mind single threaded with exclusive access to the short term memory. A sub-conscious thought is run concurrently, and must run in its own memory space.

Specified by:

isConscious in interface Thought

Overrides:

isConscious in class BasicThought

getActiveMemoryBackLog

public java.util.Queue<Vertex> getActiveMemoryBackLog()

setActiveMemoryBackLog

public void setActiveMemoryBackLog(java.util.Queue<Vertex> activeMemoryBackLog)
