No, a symbol is simply anything abstract that stands for an object - word
sounds, alphabetic words, numbers, logical variables etc. The earliest
proto-symbols may well have been emotions.
My point is that Harnad clearly talks of two intermediate visual/sensory
levels of processing - the iconic and still-more-schematic "categorical
representations" - neither of which I can remember seeing in the ideas of
anyone here for their AGI's. But I may have forgotten something/someone.
Have I?
---------------------
If Harnad's ideas had made the critical difference between true artificial
intelligence and the kind of AI that you have criticized, you would have heard
a lot more about them before this.
