Hello Narsenians :) Hello SoCers :)
[ I put a small part of the correspondence below on OpenNARS list and on Squeak's SoC List (if that works) ]
Thanks a *lot* for the project, for the fun we had, for the results and for working together on the future :)
Now that OpenNARS can be operated with a web browser from a Seaside server, I believe that it will find ever more friends and users %0.5;0.9% ;)
Cedrick I like your new page
- http://nars.seasidehosting.st/
it looks like NARS and smells like NARS ;) How about a decent a page title, you certainly have already thought about it.
Pei we are all happy you shared your outstanding knowledge and work with us in this project, thank you so much.
I'm looking forward to future steps into the OpenNARS direction in a world with free software.
Cheers, Klaus

Cédrick,
This project is a pleasant experience to me, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it, too. I've updated the link to your website from Open-NARS website.
I really look forward to future cooperation with you, whatever the form will be.
Thanks Klaus for making all this happen!

Hi Klaus and Pei,
I really want to thank you a lot for you attention and help during this project.

It has been a really great experience for me and furthermore on several aspects (on squeak, on OOP, on NARS, on reasoning system, on uncertainty, etc...). I knew squeak but I needed experience and this is a good one. Also NARS intrigued me for its "simplicity", its well founded theories and so it's the first time I go deeper in reasonning systems (others reasoning systems like cyc seemed too "logic" to me ;) ). That's fun how life take you in some directions. All that started with a discussion with Klaus on floats that I was using to represent confidence degree (belief mass) for Smet's TBM. So more than just reasoning systems, it has given me another understanding of uncertainty expression and processing

I think I would just have failed with another language. Some debugging sessions were just fun (these are haha moments where I was telling myself "I love Smalltalk" :) ). Some were longer (like finding where I didn't clone, or having a NAVaraible findSustitue bypassed by true instead of nil ;) etc... )
...
But yes, I'm happy with the result and this is rare :). Feel free to tell if you think some elements are missing.

Of course the language is not all and the fact you both answer very promptly my questions helped me a lot and reassured me too :)
So a really big THANKS to both of you :)
Cheers and see you soon,
Cédrick
