Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Return the name that identifies the thought.

setName

void setName(java.lang.String name)

Set the name that identifies the thought.

stop

void stop()

Stop analyzing network.

isStopped

boolean isStopped()

pool

void pool()

Reset state when instance is pooled.

think

void think()

Analyze and extend the network.

awake

void awake()

Perform any initialization required on startup.

getPrimitive

Primitive getPrimitive()

Return the primitive representation of the thought.

getBot

Bot getBot()

Return the associated Bot instance.

setBot

void setBot(Bot Bot)

Set the associated Bot instance.

initialize

void initialize(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> properties)

Initialize any configuration properties.

isConscious

boolean isConscious()

Thoughts can be conscious or sub-conscious. A conscious thought is run by the mind single threaded with exclusive access to the short term memory. A sub-conscious thought is run concurrently, and must run in its own memory space.

isCritical

boolean isCritical()

Return if this thought must run even under stress.

saveProperties

void saveProperties()

migrateProperties

void migrateProperties()

Migrate to new properties system.
