To equate a concept with a symbol, not sure how you do that. For sure you use a symbol to represent an instance of a concept or a concept, like the words in this sentence when you convert them to the concepts in your mind you understand the model of the world I'm talking about. But that symbol just gives you a reference to something else. The something else they forgot about with Symbolic AI is the concept.
- sennight 5y agoA concept is simply a pattern used to generalize the underlying data, such patterns are regularly represented by symbols. For example: [x..x+y] is a range pattern, it generalizes any set of numbers that fall within the pattern's bounds, that data could be [0,1,2] or [4,5] or... it goes on forever. You might want to spend some time reading up on formal logic, it should only take a few minutes for you to recognize how bad your take on symbolic logic is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic
