Perhaps one way to go about discovering the forms of thought is to read what others have written about the forms of thought.Then perhaps use those writings as sort of a requirements definition for an AGI system. For example, one could read The Development of Thought: The Equilibration of Cognitive Structures by Jean Piaget (1977) andthen perhaps gather some requirements from those writings, and then transform those writings into a design of some sort, and finally code some algorithms to support the design. Nah, that wouldn't work. Never mind. ~PM

They never seem to be clearly related to the way we actually think. There are explanations for this. First of all computer programming is not the same as our personal experiences of thinking. This leads to some fracturing of the principles of thought. Secondly, most of us have a sense that we have to understand the underlying form-of-thought in order to understand how thought might take place. And this is probably true.
