learning reinforcer
|
54 |
Reinforcement |
Both punishment and reward chems decay to produce this short-life chemical. It allows eg. concept space dens to get stronger when ANY form of reinforcement occurs
|
55 |
ConASH |
Concept layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose CON NEUS - stops further con neu dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated cells for new concepts.
|
56 |
DecASH1 |
Decision layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose DEC DENS (type0) - stops further dec dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated dens for new associations.
|
57 |
Reward Echo |
Reward chem must decay rapidly, this longer lasting chem is generated during that decay. Useful chem to monitor to see if reward has occurred. Biochemical use as a measure of 'recent' reward.
|
58 |
Punish Echo |
Punishment chem must decay rapidly, this longer lasting chem is generated during that decay. Useful chem to monitor to see if punishment has occurred. Biochemical use as a measure of 'recent' punishment.
