He basically argues we all have 1000s of little, but interacting models of all sorts of things going on in our brain all at the same time. He calls them reference frames and it’s those that create intelligence.
‘Understanding’ would come naturally out of having those.
Fascinating book which I’m probably explaining much less well that he does.
- andyjohnson0 5y agoI've not read the book, but from your description it maybe has some similarity to Marvin Minsky’s "Society of Mind". Mind and intelligence as the emergent behaviour of many cooperating/competing systems.
- jonplackett 5y agoyes i think he talks about that. The difference is he's also looking for (and finding) the 'how' in physical brain structure terms, rather than just theory alone.
