For this subdivision can be shown to be fractal, can it not? -how do we encode common-sense in a computer? -I don't believe Minsky is making any claim that 'knowledge' implies 'consciousness' or other lofty claims. Mechanistic like francis bacon ?idea of BDI p.75 ?the incredible power of everyday action vs. Genius p.80 ?reinforcing agents which peform well-how to ?is Minsky right with his 'state of mind' theory? ?learning is at least two-pronged: learn from success and/or mistakes ?Piaget thought experiment p.100 ?Minsky seems to approach things very simplistically ?Padert's principle: mental growth comes not just from new skills, but new ways of using existing skills. ?the best definitions bridge between the 'purposeful' and the 'structural' p.131 ?investment principle: oldest ideas have unfair advantages->larger mass of skills p.146 ?consciousness=meta-thought ?memory is a process which makes our brain-agents act in the same way as they did in the past. P.154 ?idea of studying human minds using babies ?what is an emotion? Early eaotions signify need p.172 ? rapid change is dangerous - looks like spurts when adopted - must machines be logical? p. 186 what is logic used for? it is used for evaluating decisions we have already made. Logic as grammar is to sentence structure - can tell us whether our sentences are properly formed but not what new sentences to form. How does this idea fit in with Godot's theorem that in any system there are elements which are undecidable and unprovable - "pointless truths" - "many have assumed that logical necessity lies at the heart of our reasoning" p. 187 - chains of reasoning as ways hymans think - logic is a way of making a chain - one support for every link p. 189 - but common sense reasoning asks whether, what the chain looks like so far is in accord with our experience - once we have created these chains logic helps us pick out the most essential steps -deciding what group of reasons to use: "strength from magnitude" and "strength from multitude" p. 191 - idea of frames p. 243 what happens if our frame of how something looks ends up being invalidated - what is to be done in that case? how flexible are frames? - the idea that cognition is really about being 'reminded' of something - a trigger - slots == terminals p. 245 - how do we mentally recognize scenes that are incomplete - say half a face - its by filling in the 'default' slots}, description = {sdasda}, interhash = {4dea836bd2d62b1354ae0e927b9bbc05}, intrahash = {e927b0ca1977b520a4029990358b93e3}, keywords = {logic frames ai}, priority = {0}, publisher = {Simon \& Schuster}, timestamp = {2006-03-24T16:34:33.000+0100}, title = {The society of mind}, year = 1985 }
