…cesses, and for Long Term Memory vs. Deliberative Processes, could be viewed as somewhat artificial, since in the human brain and most AGI architectures, memory and processing are closely inte- grated. However, the tradition in cognitive psychology is to separate out Working Memo...

…pable as the corresponding stages of biological complexity. Neural networks started out with a goal of modeling how the brain works. That goal was abandoned as they evolved into mathematical abstractions unrelated to how neurons actually function. But now there’s a kind of conver...

… of apparent mental emptiness, detachment, a state in which rationally instructive thought and the choral background of brain voiced, emotion-ladened, commentary have disappeared into the entropic soup of formless silence. It is this indescribable, ineffable, stillness that we th...

…t was only natural to transfer the evolutionary idea from one mammalian body system (the immune system) to another (the brain). The starting point of Neural Darwinism is the observation that neuronal dynamics may be analyzed in terms of the behavior of neuronal groups. The stron...
