The Constructor Metacognitive Architecture

A true human-level learner should be able to deliberately construct its own knowledge, its processes of reasoning resulting in a new knowledge, its system of values and goals, and the scenario of its cognitive growth. These capabilities require a cognitive architecture of a new kind that supports metacognition, self-awareness, and selfregulation. An example architecture design called Constructor is described here. The main distinguishing feature of this architecture is its virtually unlimited selfregulated cognitive growth ability. Other features include metacognition, self-awareness, and an intrinsic embodiment in virtual reality that is used, e.g., for active construction of cognitive and learning processes.
