The World-Wide-Mind (WWM) was introduced in [Humphrys, 2001]. For a short introduction see [Humphrys, 2001a]. Briefly, this is a scheme for putting animat "minds" online (as WWM "servers") so that large complex minds may be constructed from many remote components. The aim is to address the scaling up of animat research, or how to construct minds more complex than could be written by one author (or one research group).The first part of this paper describes how a number of existing animat architectures could be implemented as WWM servers. Any unified mind can easily map to a single WWM server. So most of the discussion here is on action selection (or behavior or goal selection), where each module could be a different WWM server (written by a different author).The second part of this paper describes the first implementation of WWM servers and clients, and explains in particular how to write a WWM server. Most animats researchers are programmers but not network programmers. Almost all protocols for remote services (CORBA, SOAP, etc.) assume the programmer is a networks specialist. This paper rejects these solutions, and shows how any animats researcher can put their animat "mind" or "world" online as a server by simply converting it into a command-line program that reads standard input and writes to standard output.
