There seems to be a mismatch indeed in incorporating common sense aspects and the proposed symbolic methods to solve them. Common sense seems "fuzzy". It doesn't look like rules and symbols are rich enough to cover its essence. On the other hand, context has to do with a slot-like thinking architecture. If I wake up in the weekend in the same bed, I'm acting differently than during the week. Moreover I am easily think of a scenario in which I wake up in my bed on a raft on the ocean. I'm not aware of any connectionist framework that comes close. 1) Polychronization doesn't tell how to connect groups. 2) Global workspace theory is "homogeneous" connectionist. As is Copycat. 3) Alternatives such as ARTMAP are not grammar like either. 4) Bayesian methods or dynamic field theories care even less about representation. We really have a lot to figure out in the coming decennia! :-)
