I was contemplating how to work on something no one's worked on since so much has been worked on. It wouldn't be the first time I've contemplated how to design a system with a personality. In the same vein of designing a knowledge base as if it were the mind of an individual, I've decided I don't care as much about bootstrapping a system to learn natural language since that part of the goal towards general A.I. is already well on its way. Since I believe a well-built knowledge base is the best way to understand natural language most completely, the best thing to move towards bootstrapping is the concept of self. Take for example the statement: "I had cold turkey." If I wanted to disambiguate that noun phrase, my knowledge base knows that cold turkey is really an adverb and I definitely won't have an adverb. Or will I? So, one of the other more interesting goals for testing a system which builds a concept of itself would be building a system with religiosity. Consequently, this same goal has within itself a sub-goal of being a system which not just knows stuff, but actually understands stuff. The prime example is what it means to love your neighbor as yourself. You start with three major axioms: you shall love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. The greatest of these axioms is you are the image and likeness of God. Once you've attained this prime axiom, the successful test is demonstrating what it truly means to love your neighbor as yourself. Knowing these axioms should also find a path to justification for a certain opinion written by Paul.
