Eric:The core problem of GI is generalization: you want to be able to figure out new problems as they come along that you haven't seen before. In order to do that, you basically must implicitly or explicitly employ some version of Occam's Razor
It all depends on the subject matter of the generalization. It's a fairly good principle, but there is such a thing as simple-mindedness. For example, what is the cluster of associations evoked in the human brain by any given idea, and what is the principle [or principles] that determines how many associations in how many domains and how many brain areas? The answers to these questions are unlikely to be simple. IOW if the subject matter is complex, the generalization may also have to be complex.
