The following checklist is neither exhaustive nor mandatory for the AI Project; instead, the list will be incrementally updated such as to reflect the project's (possibly) changing goals and perspective:
- model the evolution of human intelligence during the stages of life, from infancy to adulthood
- be capable of exhibiting abnormal behaviors similar to the ones found in extra-ordinary mental conditions (e.g. mental illnesses, genius abilities, savant syndrome, hyperthymesia, etc) by (gradually) altering its structure and/or parameters
- be capable of simulating reduced cognitive abilities as found in various inferior species by (gradually) altering its structure and/or parameters
- be capable of simulating sleep, and related episodic mental conditions (e.g. hallucinations, sleep walking, etc)
- use biologically consistent (or plausible) structures at various levels of organization, but only insofar as the biological structures prove a near-optimal solution for a given functionality within the set of constraints of the emulation hardware. In other words, biological consistency is deemed important from a block-level functional perspective, but biologically-inconsistent models may be used for any identified functionality that needs to be emulated
