G15 PMN robotics by Aristo Tacoma

G15 PMN Spreadsheet, also called "GPS",
is an application using the core
definitions of FCM inside G15 PMN.
FCM is, as a term coined in 2006
by Aristo Tacoma [cfr Firth OS 
platform, on a CD derived from 
FreeDOS] first as 'First-hand
relationship to data'--in the
evolved form, First-hand 
Computerized Mentality, is an approach 
to the type of software
required in the computers that run
robots (whether inside of the robotic
machinery and sensory apparatus or
located out of it), without the
narrowing, reductive assumptions
on human intelligence typically
implied in the concept of "Artificial
Intelligence". The notion of first-
handedness is that of a simplicity
going beyond any statistical
approach or the handling of
algorithms too complex for
human understanding to set a
defining limit to just what type
of robotic programming is acceptable.
This is achievable within the 32-bit
personal computer.
  The main Spreadsheet app for 
G15 PMN is an application using
the FCM definitions inside the
Third Foundation. This can easily
be extended and also modified to
serve as main control panel, in
a sense, for FCM applications doing
real-time robotics. Consult also the
five-volume Art of Thinking series
about this.

The approach taken by the G15 PMN
programming language platform,
see www.g15pmn.com which
refers to 
norskesites.org/fic3/fic3inf3.htm,
which comes along with a complete
concept of a CPU, namely, the G15
CPU [in a practical virtual 
implementation, or PVI,--ie, 
emulated, when the G15 PMN is 
performed in 32-bit or 64-bit x86 
or ARM Linux; with some versions
also available for MS Windows
and FreeDOS], is this:

the encouragement of a "first-hand
relationship to data", ie, where
all, or as many as meaningfully
possible, of the elements of the
data process are psychologically
making sense, directly, to the
programmer's mind. This concept,
summarized in the phrase 'first-hand
programming' as coined by this
writer, Aristo Tacoma, in 2006
in connection with the first 
experiments with this sort of
language, in what was called
the Firth Platform [the Firth
platform still exists], and
has its analogy in 'first-hand 
mechanics' and, by the concept 
(also by A.T.) of Intraplates, 
in 'first-hand electronics' which 
includes 'first-hand digital 
electronics' as a particular field. 
While the latter two are mostly, 
at this stage, in planning, the 
first-hand mechanics--and, as a sub-
field, first-hand robotics, which
can be informally spoken of as
'open robotics', is being 
concretely implemented together
with the FCM software connected
to GPS, the G15 PMN Spreadsheet,
to steer just such robotics.

The FCM, concept, meanwhile, is
an articulation of just how far
it makes sense to speak of
a mentality connected to a
robot: in contrast to any
pompeous concept with scarcely
any insightful philosophical
foundation such as
"Artificial Intelligence"
or "Machine Learning", the
FCM concept takes as starting-
point that human minds expresses
themselves in a variety of
forms; and an example is how
the genius of Leonardo da Vinci
expresses himself in both
drawings and mechanical
constructions and artworks;
his mind is being expressed.
The expression of a human mind 
through first-hand programmed
computers and first-hand
mechanics is the FCM concept:
First-Hand Computerized
Mentality. The G15 PMN FCM
package is part of the G15
PMN Third Foundation software.
A novel form, easier to use
with practical robotics, is
the FCMiii software.

Three apps that start out on the 
GPS Robotics journey:

G15 CORE PATTERN MAKE 5551234
As described in the Art
of Thinking, volume 3: This app is extended
towards ENTRAINMENT with app #5551269 and the
effects of these apps are explored in the 
'PATMAT SHEETS' app #5553588, which is an 
expansion of the G15 Spreadsheet to accomodate
pattern matching.

G15 CORE PATTERN ENTRAINMENT 5551269
The core patterns come from app# 5551234. For 
professional robot pattern matching
as part of FCM, create a pan set that
is context specific and with consistent
set of relevant keywords. 
/////Appnum: 5551269



PATMAT SHEETS 5553588
  Patmatsheets, this app, is the exact
full core of the PMWORK app #5554000.
  This is the standard G15 Spreadsheet
{which has app number 3555558} expanded
elegantly with a some new script 
functions, made in a readable,
first-hand way, on top of the spreadsheet
source. These new script functions,
sometimes called 'scrpt', can
be used within the spreadsheets to
show images and call on the pattern
matching core feature detection 
elements found in apps #5551234 and
#5551269. 
  Be sure that this app is provided
with minimum 5 pans, but more usually
some thousand pans and maximum 6000
pans; be sure that every pan has been
made with a match pattern that indeed
has some matches and is not just a 
blank set, and that every pan has 
some keywords. Give the correct
number of pans to the 'patmat' scrpt;
this is easy and obvious in the 
ready-made example at K1 which you
can load with the F3 button as soon
as you start this up.
  Note that the 'patmat' loads in
the quantity of pans given to it
just once, and this as soon as the
'patmat' is used in a spreadsheet,
no matter its other parameters.
In effect, this means that you can
experiment with a smaller number of
pans than the initial number set,
but to go higher, you must quit
and restart the program so that
next 'patmat' is used in a sheet,
it has the highest number at once.
As said, every pan must have values, 
both keywords and match values, 
with no blank pans.
  The code is simply added on top:
there is no hierarchy of the G15 PMN
code in this case; it is a simple
matter of adding new script functions
to the flawless, standard G15 PMN FCM
Spreadsheet, fitting within the FCM
nodes. They can bring with them their
own data structures and fetch input
from fields in the spreadsheet and
give output to them.
  Note that the whole spreadsheet
AND this program fits in just around
800 cards on top of the TF, and that
it has been made on the premises of
not changing a single thing inside
the spreadsheet itself. However if
you push the use of the inbuilt
spreadsheet script functions 
relative to these new ones, you
may experiment how to make them
work well together. Eg, when you
use 'egshow' it shows an image on
top of other fields and by unshowing
it properly, you restore the formatting
under the image which is important
before other functions write over it.
