Beyond Bitcoin & Forth: Cardinality of Forth Words, Inverse Turing Test, and Defining Artificial General Intelligence - Liang Ng
"I define the cardinality of a Forth stack machine word as the number of primitive words used in its colon definition and this enables ALL SOURCE CODE having been written by human programmers or AI agents, after translated using Phoscript engine, to become “enumerable” - thereby searchable, modularised, and composable. I also propose the Inverse Turing Test (ITT) and a measurable and verifiable definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) based on the concepts above."

Future

CoSy Update - Bob Armstring
"I can talk on progress toward eclipsing the trade computing environments with Forth CoSy for the ultimate target market of female entrepreneurs who consistently compare CoSy with Evernote and Notion, both of which have ~ $B valuations after a couple of $100m investments. But both don't have the radically open foundation provided by Forth. (Notion does evolve from SmallTalk.) "

Automatic Differentiation in Forth - Brad Nelson
"I'll explore using Forth Recognizers to implement automatic differentiation and explore differential programming."
