Human body & mind

Human mind: the software of the brain

An intelligent being has to deduce the implications of what it knows, but only the relevant implications. This requirement poses a deep problem not only for design of machines, but epistemology, the analysis of how we know.

The problem escaped the notice of generations of philosophers, who were left complacent by the illusory effortlessness of their own common sense. Only when artificial intelligence researchers tried to duplicate common sense in computers, the ultimate blacnk slate, did the conundrum, now called "the frame problem" come to light. yet somehow we also solve the frame problem wheneve we use our common sense.
