Mapping Natural Intelligence to Machine Space

Abstract

A recurring theme throughout has been that classical science approaches to theory of intelligence are not at all adequate to address the full scope and depth of natural intelligence actually observed in human and animal experience. The classical approach underlies the single-capacity theory which holds that natural intelligence of both humans and animals reflects the unfolding of genetic structures in the brain already determined at birth. In part, the failure of these approaches is due to methods and concepts that are overwhelmingly discrete, serial, top-down and linear.
