Cognitive synergy: A universal principle for feasible general intelligence
Ben Goertzel · 2009
Do there exist general principles, which any system must obey in order to achieve advanced general intelligence using feasible computational resources? Here we propose one candidate: ldquocognitive synergy,rdquo a principle which suggests that general intelligences must contain different knowledge creation mechanisms corresponding to different sorts of memory (declarative, procedural, sensory/episodic, attentional, intentional); and that these different mechanisms must be interconnected in such a way as to aid each other in overcoming memory type specific combinatorial explosions.
