Roots

Motalen® was co-Founded by Alexander Bringsjord with the initial, humble goal of enabling everyone in the mobile space to logically plan their on-the-go lives, given the amount of remaining power at their mobile disposal (BatteryTime). A leap in ambition and scope then led to the world’s first bona fide gesture-based logic escape game in the mobile space: the award-winning Infernus Verse 1. At this point a grander vision materialized: Invent, create, and publish digital technology that enables everyone, anywhere and anytime, to live logically, to increasingly learn how to live that way — and to have loads of fun along the way. Motalen® was founded in 2009 by two ambitious college students. Back then, Motalen® operated from a dormroom. In the almost 15 years of continuous operation, Motalen® has been able to navigate the choppy waters of a technological landscape that changes, it seems, by the hour. Today, Motalen® delivers unparalleled Artififical Intelligence (AI) technology for education, entertainment, edutainment, and R&D.

Success

Powered by the resounding success of BatteryTime and Infernus Verse 1, the team expanded quickly and began focusing on next-generation technologies for tackling fun mobile logic puzzles. Given the still-underway rush toward a “mobile singularity,” the team knew that having a set of peerless internal tools for producing powerful mobile games that call for logical thinking would be the key to ongoing success in an industry filled with applications that don’t call for a shred of sharp thinking. Motalen's Infernus Engine was developed to meet this challenge. The result: Infernus Verse 2, progress in which demanded first-rate deduction. Since the Infernus saga, Motalen® has released Catabot Rescue. More applications have been developed, released privately, and used for advanced research into crowd-based solutions in STEM. Stay tuned for the release of Infernus Verse 3! As of 2023, Motalen® has started to approach major game studios with the goal of forming a partership that would unleash Motalen® technology to gamers all over the world.

Today

Courtesy of sustained R&D, Motalen® now enables anyone anywhere on Earth to learn formal logic, and/or rigorous computer programming, in the Logic: A Modern Approach (LAMA®) paradigm, which includes placing fun competition front and center, as users engineer proofs and arguments, and construct programs, by using HyperGrader® and HyperSlate®, online AI software systems tailor-made for such activity, and available here. The hallmarks of the LAMA® paradigm, and hence specifically these two systems, include that students and professionals alike can collaborate with cutting-edge AI. All AI tools are currently developed and distributed under the proprietary, online, and realtime HyperLogic platform. The HyperLogic platform has multiple modules, which can be licensed separately. These modules contain software that utilizes hypergraphs and AI to generate and solve logic problems, math problems, games, and computer programs, and assess, diagnose, edit and provide extensions of proofs, arguments, and solutions.

Tomorrow

Motalen® is convinced that online, AI-powered, gamified education in logic-based computer programming, and proof and argument construction, can elevate the cognition of young and old, including the disadvantaged, across the globe. Accordingly, Motalen® is seeking to make HyperSlate® and Hyperlog the means by which millions learn to program at the highest level of quality. This will happen for minds located anywhere, engaged with the system at any time, in any type of environment, from conventional schools, to home schools, to MOOCs, to learners on the run who are motalen along. Mobility is now key in any industry, and evidence suggests this will not change. Hyperlog is also a computer software platform, but specifically geared for implementing a functional computer programming language and for developing logic-based computer programs. The Hyperlog platform and associated language include compiler programs, editor programs, debugger programs, and utility programs.
