ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the cognitive modeling proposal which is founded on a premise that the human brain solves the problem of satisfying some inborn values in a manner maximally efficient under the constraints changing in the course of the life cycle. It also presents the main concepts and poses questions the model is designed to solve. The chapter outlines the model and reviews some applications. It discusses how the model fits in with other theories. The chapter argues that H. Bergson's aphorism is a technically precise description of organizational changes in the human Central Nervous System (CNS) underlying learning and performance in all domains, from motor control to problem solving. It draws human memory as a holonomie system where flexible components are bound together by what can be broadly defined as entropie forces. The chapter explores how holonomie features of biological memory can be reverse engineered to obtain a general-purpose information fusion model of high utility.
