Summary
This page (numbered 62) appears to be from a scientific paper or book regarding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and cognitive architectures. It discusses systems such as ACT-R, EPIC, Cyc, and Texai, specifically mentioning Stephen Reed's work at Cycorp and his subsequent project, Texai. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012978' Bates stamp, indicating it was included in document production for a House Oversight Committee investigation, commonly associated with the Epstein files regarding scientific funding/connections.

psychological data. Opinions differ as to whether this sort of modeling is valuable for achieving AGI goals. CogPrime is not designed to support this kind of modeling, as it intentionally does many things very differently from humans.
ACT-R in its original form did not say much about perceptual and motor operations, but recent versions have incorporated EPIC, an independent cognitive architecture focused on modeling these aspects of human behavior.

4.2.3 Cyc and Texai
Our review of cognitive architectures would be incomplete without mentioning Cyc [LG90], one of the best known and best funded AGI-oriented projects in history. While the main focus of the Cyc project has been on the hand-coding of large amounts of declarative knowledge, there is also a cognitive architecture of sorts there. The center of Cyc is an engine for logical deduction, acting on knowledge represented in predicate logic. A natural language engine has been associated with the logic engine, which enables one to ask English questions and get English replies.
Stephen Reed, while an engineer at Cycorp, designed a perceptual-motor front end for Cyc based on James Albus' Reference Model Architecture; the ensuing system, called Cognitive-Cyc, would have been the first full-fledged cognitive architecture based on Cyc, but was not implemented. Reed left Cycorp and is now building a system called Texai, which has many similarities to Cyc (and relies upon the OpenCyc knowledge base, a subset of Cyc's overall knowledge base), but incorporates a CognitiveCyc style cognitive architecture.
