Cognitive System Quotes

“The cognitive system of the brain is based on the functional operation of several sub-systems. If there is relatively perfect accordance among them, then the mind can reach the harmony and clarity. Each sub-system in mind has got its start point – presuppositions, the deep content of which is hidden in unconsciousness, but in most cases, if not all, actively affects the whole process of rational thinking. You can be aware of mostly its consequences, and you can intuitively sense whether these consequences are logical and clear, or illogical and vague. If the latter is the case, it means that the presuppositions of the sub-systems in mind are incompatible, which in turn influences the functions of whole sub-systems and conclusions that the sub-systems draw as the consequence of these functional operations. Ultimately, the mind would suffer from inevitable disagreement and disharmony, which in turn would constantly keep the mental state under stress.

“From a modelling perspective, there is not a definitive “winning” method in the “science of artificial”. Different approaches are useful for modelling certain classes of cognitive phenomena, but no one can account for all aspects of cognition”
