Thanks! I'm glad you found the perspective interesting. It's definitely worth reading more about Minksy's models. I have a lot of references in-line, but here

Thanks! I'm glad you found the perspective interesting. It's definitely worth reading more about Minksy's models. I have a lot of references in-line, but here are a few more starting points. The near-final-draft version his book Emotion Machines is available for free on his MIT site[0] and WashPo gave it a very positive review[1]. It would be interesting to investigate some criticisms of the model, though I haven't found any that specifically target the 6 layer model.
