Having read your full reply, I'll say that this is probably the worst
miscommunication ever. In retrospect, I should have realized that
would happen.
There's no way I can straighten that out, so I won't even try.
I'll make a few meta-comments to give some perspective.
There are problems that a cognitive agent needs to solve. AI methods
don't solve them. They don't even attempt to solve them. In fact AI
proponents are blissfully unaware that the problems even exist.
There are other, quite different problems, that AI systems do attempt
to solve. As best I can tell, those are not problems that any actual
cognitive agent needs to solve.
In my last post, I was trying to present the basic principles with
which a cognitive agent would address those problems that it needs to
solve. And, as I should have expected, you have attempted to construe
it as being about the kind of problems that AI systems actually
address.
It's pretty much a total miscommunication.

Neil
