My scheme uses analogy as (part of) its most basic primitive. (I'm really going to have to come up with some good name for the system, but the primitive units I call SiGMAs, for Situation-Goal-Memory-Action.) I refer to the operation as analogical quadrature, which has been discussed to a small extent here. The basic idea is a lot like CBR, you choose each action by analogy to ones you remember -- but in my scheme each of the units has its own "language" to remember in and actions are in many cases messages to other units.
