 further research projects. To this end I have included the full
 source to =CORTEX= along with a large suite of tests and examples. I
 have also created a user guide for =CORTEX= which is included in an
 appendix to this thesis.

+You have also seen how I used =CORTEX= as a platform to attack the
 /action recognition/ problem, which is the problem of recognizing
 actions in video. You saw a simple system called =EMPATH= which
 identifies actions by first describing actions in a body-centered,
 rich sense language, then inferring a full range of sensory
 experience from limited data using previous experience gained from
 - =EMPATH=, which uses =CORTEX= to identify the actions of a
 worm-like creature using a computational model of empathy.

 Those who write a thesis should endeavor to make their code not only
 accessible, but actually usable, as a way to pay back the community
