I think that pattern matching is an ancillary function and yes the more resources devoted to this allows for a better AI/AGI. Pattern matching operates on data streams for example video and pattern matching at various abstractions can operate on a data store. It seems pattern matching is a part of consciousness and a component of intelligence but just part of the core. If you strip everything out except pattern matching operations, what do you do with the matched patterns? How do you store and organize them? What decides further action? How are the pattern matching operators adjusted?
