26Oct2023 ready to blog on Connectionists...
27Sep2023 After 2 months of rewriting my webSite management system, I was able to upload my webSite content with "relatively reliable links", although there is some work to do to improve it further (pehaps in 3-6 months).

31Aug2023 I try to maintain notes of work that I am doing on [computer software, projects], to make it easier to get back into a project after a break of [month, year]s, and to be able to see how I solved problems in the past very handy more often that I would expect). For the TrNNs_ART project, some of the "notes files: are : However, I haven't updated most of my website other than this TrNNs_ART project subWebSite, and trying to find the time to rewrite my web management software and to update stylistic changes to webPages may take another year or so...
31Aug2023 Priorities 10May2023 This "Trnns&ART" webSite is in a very early stage of development. Many webPages have little or no content yet, and are "ghosted grey" in the menus at the top of each webPage.

    missing 'subsequent links' in the same html paragraph

    It appears that my functions fail to capture "subsequent links".
    This will require modifications of link [search, replace].

    Questions: Grossberg's c-ART, Transformer NNs, and consciousness?

    For whom the bell tolls

    10Aug2023 I haven't revisited this issue since creating an empty webPage, but I certainly intend to get back to it and look for good commentaries.

    Grossberg part of webSite

    10Aug2023 This "Grossberg" subWebSite is still in a very early stage of development, and is where almost all of my time has been put to date. I will add more material as my own work progresses, but slowly over a couple of years at least. As with all of my projects, there is no expectation that I will "finish", rather that work will only continue as I can afford the time, and will peter out as other priorities take over.
    I have minimized my own commentary, as I prefer to provide [commentary, [figure, table], caption, quotes]s from Grossberg's "Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain" book. That will hopefully be better for the reader, and provide at least some reference material as
    This "Grossberg" subWebSite is much larger than the rest of my TrNNS_ART webSite

    TrNN controls need consciousness

    10Aug2023 I haven't yet provided content for this webPage. It does touch on one of three questions of this webSite as mentioned in the Introduction : 10May2023 initial draft, ?date? initial posting

    TrNNS&ART theme

    10Aug2023 This subWebSite is still in a very early stage of development, but it is important to the questions relating Transformer Neural Networks (TrNNs) and Grossberg's cART-related architectures. I have NOT yet even started on actual software programming of either [TrNNs, cART], and that may delayed by 6 months or so as I have higher-priority work to do on related lower-level Spiking Neural Network (SNN) [architesture, finction, process, operating system]s.
    The primary questions are :
    1. Do "Large Language Models (LLMs) (such as chatGPT, LaMDA, etc) already exhibit a [protero, incipient] consciousness, in particular given the rough similarity of the basic unit of "Transformer Neural Networks" (TrNNs) to one of Grossberg's general "modules". The latter are proposed as a small number of units that are readily recombined with slight modifications as a basis for much of brain architecture, much like the small number of concepts in physics can be applied across a broad range of themes?
    2. How difficult would it be to augment "Transformer Neural Networks" (TrNNs) with Grossberg's [concept, architecture]s, including the emergent systems for consciousness? Perhaps this would combine the scalability of the former with the [robust, extendable] foundations of the latter, which is supported by [broad, diverse, deep] data from [neuroscience, psychology], as well success in real world advanced [science, engineering] applications?
    3. Are current (semi-manual) "controls" of "Large Language Models (LLMs) going in the direction of machine consciousness, without those involved being aware of this? Will "controls" ultimately require machine consciousness as one of their components, in particular for [learning, evolution] in a stable and robust manner?
