NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System), a general-purpose intelligent system, or a "thinking machine", that follows the same principles as the human mind, and can solve problems in various domains, has been developed by Dr. Pei Wang (Department of Computer and Information Sciences, College of Science & Technology at the Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA).

Когнитивная архитектура NARS разрабатывается исследовательской группой по проекту в Отделении вычислительной техники и информатики (Department of Computer and Information Sciences) Темпльского университета (Temple University) в г. Филадельфия, Пенсильвания, США. Руководит разработкой Пэй Ван (Pei Wang). Материалы разработки представляются ежегодно на конференциях по AGI.

Toward a Unified Artificial Intelligence. Published in 2004.
"To integrate existing AI techniques into a consistent system, an intelligent core is needed, which is general and flexible, and can use the other techniques as tools to solve concrete problems. Such a system, NARS, is introduced. It is a general-purpose reasoning system developed to be adaptive and capable of working with insufficient knowledge and resources. Compared to traditional reasoning system, NARS is different in all major components (language, semantics, inference rules, memory structure, and control mechanism)."

NARS [From NARS to a Thinking Machine; Rigid Flexibility: The Logic of Intelligence]
What makes NARS different from conventional reasoning systems is its ability to learn from its experience and to work with insufficient knowledge and resources. NARS attempts to uniformly explain and reproduce many cognitive facilities, including reasoning, learning, planning, etc, so as to provide a unified theory, model, and system for AI as a whole. The ultimate goal of this research is to build a thinking machine.
The development of NARS takes an incremental approach consisting four major stages. At each stage, the logic is extended to give the system a more expressive language, a richer semantics, and a larger set of inference rules; the memory and control mechanism are then adjusted accordingly to support the new logic.
In NARS the notion of "reasoning" is extended to represent a system's ability to predict the future according to the past, and to satisfy the unlimited resources demands using the limited resources supply, by flexibly combining justifiable micro steps into macro behaviors in a domain-independent manner.
