A.s.a.'s values

In our early publication* A.s.a.'s value module was placed at the top of the case/concept hierarchy. This can be true early in training and/or for small agents**. But as training proceeds more and more concepts are acquired/created and these are chained and the hierarchy grows upward. I.e., our values need not be our deepest/most abstracted concepts**.

Furthermore, in the light version of A.s.a. H. 2.0 published in our 10 February 2011 blog we value pattern occurrence frequency and pattern size on each level of the hierarchy.
