One of the core principles of the OpenCog AGI design, “cognitive synergy”, is exemplified by the synergy between logical reasoning and attention allocation. This synergy centers on a feedback in which nonlinear-dynamical attention-spreading guides logical inference control, and inference directs attention to surprising new conclusions it has created. In this paper we report computational experiments in which this synergy is demonstrated in practice, in the context of a very simple logical inference problem.
