Josh, Thanks for that answer on the layering of mind.
It's not that any existing level is wrong, but there aren't enough of
them, so
that the higher ones aren't being built on the right primitives in current systems. Word-level concepts in the mind are much more elastic and plastic than logic tokens.
Could I ask also that you take a stab at a psychological/sociological question: Why have not the leading minds of AI (considering for this purpose only the true creative thinkers with status in the community, however small a fraction that may be) taken a sufficiently multi-layered, grounded approach up to now? Isn't the need for grounding and deep-layering obvious to the most open-minded and intelligent of researchers?
