Abstract
Our main aims with HR have been to implement a plausible model of theory formation and to experiment with various parameters in order to improve the quality of the theories it produces. However, we have also always had in mind the possibility of using HR for discovery tasks in mathematics by inventing new concepts and finding new conjectures. Our methodology has been to design and implement a model of theory formation before attempting any applications. Therefore, there has been less time to apply HR to discovery tasks and this has been a secondary aim of the project.
