gactar Config

Top-level configuration in the gactar section.

Example:

gactar {
    log_level: 'detail'
    trace_activations: true
}

Config	Type	Description
log_level	string (one of 'min', 'info', or 'detail')	how verbose our logging should be
trace_activations	boolean	output detailed info about activations

Module Config

gactar supports a handful of modules and configuration options. The following outlines which options are available in the modules section.

Example:

modules {
    memory {
        latency_factor: 0.63
        max_spread_strength: 1.6
    }

    goal {
        spreading_activation: 1.0
    }
}

Declarative Memory
