I would agree that the ABC example is an analogy. Generally speaking I am
quickly successful in explaining how you can model the brain in electronic
to people with backgrounds in analog electronics. The historical efforts in
this direction of associationism and opponent process go all the way back to
Aristole. Interesting observations reveal the opponent process nature of
color. Example stare at the picture of the American flag

in a dimly lighted room for 45 seconds then look at at any gray area in the
room and you will see the colors switch. The opponent process for color are
blue-yellow, red-green, and black-white.
People who played with an opponent-process model of leaning reads like a
list of who's who in psychology including Pavlov. They all dropped the
model because it was not simple.
Einstein said make your theories as simple as necessary to explain the data.
Simple doe not mean so the average American can understand it.
Illusion are clues on what the brain is doing. What the brain is doing can
be model in an AGI machine, Even computers can be programed to experience
illusions or violations of the
programmed expectatons. Example:
Marshall, J.A. & Alley, R.K. (1993, October). A Self-Organizing Neural
Network that Learns to Detect and Represent Visual Depth from Occlusion
Events. [In Bowyer K.W. & Hall L. (Eds.)] Proceedings of the AAAI Fall
Symposium on Machine Learning and Computer Vision, Research Triangle, N.C.
p70-74.
Your stated goal is the development of an AGI machine. I am telling you in
my opinion that it can not be done in a programming environment but it can
be done using opponent process circuits. We can not stop a child open his
head and list his programs for our review and simple understanding. Sadly
this is also true for analogy phase state opponent processing machines.
Children are not controlable and neither are analogy phase state opponent
processing machines. The current goal is developing a programming control
system to interface with an analogy phase state opponent processing machine.
After spending $200,000 we have been stuck at this problem level for 18
years. We had the AGI but no interface to traditional computations. At
this time the current progress is promising that the two procedures can be
made to cooperate with each other.
You now have enough information to start your thinking.
