And of course that paper is already way out of date; it ends:

< Prof. Dr. Hugo de Garis was head of the Brain Builder Group at ATR Labs 
in Kyoto, Japan, from 1993 until February 2000. Since then he is continuing 
the same work at STARLAB, in Brussels, Belgium. (http://www.starlab.org). >

But Starlab closed down and dispersed quite a while back.

Doesn't mean the abstract generalities are worthless, though, although De 
Garis's anxieties should be well known to folks on this list.
