I disagree. The human cognitive system is very closely tied to the
hardware it runs on. Understanding it in anywhere near the level of
detail required to duplicate it is going to have to go hand in hand with
understanding the brain.
But, Russell, do you say this from the basis of detailed knowledge of
both cognitive science and neuroscience? Because those working in cog
sci, at least, do not agree with your statement. What is your exact
justification for contradicting this general consensus?
As far as I can see, it is entirely possible to get massive amounts of
high-level design information, without taking more than a few hints from
the lower levels.
