OpenCog

Hey, speaking as an AI layman, how do you rate the odds that a design based on OpenCog could foom? I haven't really dug into that codebase, but from reading the Wiki it's my impression that it's a bit of a heap left behind by multiple contributors trying to make different parts of it work for their own ends, and if a coherent whole could be wrought from it it would be too complex to feasibly understand itself. In that sense: how far out do you think OpenCog is from containing a complete operational causal model of its own codebase and operation? How much of it would have to be modified or rewritten to reach this point?
