General Pattern Finder

The General Pattern Finder looks for patterns betwen concepts of situations. It is a rule (it could also be a C language function) for making new concepts and rules.

1) Take each rule of the chrono list, the most recently used rule first. (If using a rule did not result in the expected FS, add also the new rule to the crono).

2) Take concepts of the situation part of the rule (sit1) and the future situation part of the rule (FS), and do 3)

3) Take concept of place 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then last , last -1, -2, -3, -4, -5. For each do 4)
(If each type of sensation is collected into one total concept, get and work with concepts one level down, namely the concepts that are part of this concept)
Note:
When working with the content of an elementary concept, that is, with a numerical value, use the same value, or clasify into high value (near max), medium value, low value (near min);
OR clasify into 5 classes (max-min)/5. Take as same if within the same class.

4a) Change totals into concretes, change abstracts into concretes, do 5).
4b) Change into totals if possible, do 5).
4c) Change into abstracts if possible, do 5).

5a) Take the concept itself, then one level down, two levels down, three levels down (that is, take the concretes of the concept). Do 6)

6) Make list of rules that also have the same concept

7) Look for patterns (namely repetitions between parts of rules):

Horizontal pattern (repetivive relations between sit1 and FS of the rules):

• DIR-REP
  sit1 : a concept
  FS: a certain concept in sit1 requires another or same certain concept in the FS.
  

• REP-LAB
  sit1: a concept
  FS: concept repeated, same amount of times
  

• PAT-OP = the amount of identical concepts in FS is determided by +, -, *, / ; when there is a certain concept in the sit1
  Make a new rule with only the concepts used in defining the pattern.
  

• Rules are the same except one concept. These two concepts are concretes of a new abstract concept. Make a new abstract concept, and the corresponding rule.

In general:

• If a group of concepts is repetitive in different rules, make a new total concept, and the corresponding rule.

Notes: Each branch 1) to 7) has a list of priority of options ordered by value. Value is: The times pattern has been found, divided by total times. After each use, list is reordered from high to low value.
