> Economic Attention Allocation (ECAN) was an OpenCog subsystem intended to control attentional focus during reasoning. The idea was to allocate attention as a scarce resource (thus, "economic") which would then be used to "fund" some specific train of thought. This system is no longer maintained; it is one of the OpenCog Fossils.
(Smart contracts require funds to execute (redundantly and with consensus), and there there are scarce resources).
Now there's ProxyNode and there are StorageNode implementations, but Agent is not yet reimplemented in OpenCog?
