How do you reckon that will work for an infant or anyone who has only seen an
example or two of the concept class-of-forms?
(You're effectively misreading the set of fotos - altho. this needs making
clear - a major point of the set is: how will any concept/schema of chair,
derived from any set of particular kinds of chairs, cope with a radically new
kind of chair? Just saying - "well let's analyse the chairs we have" - is not
an answer. You can take it for granted that the new chair will have some
feature[s]/form that constitutes a "radical departure" from existing ones. (as
is amply illustrated by my set of fotos). And yet your - an AGI - mind can
normally adapt and recognize the new object as a chair. ).

The mind cannot determine whether or not -every- instance of a kind of object
is that kind of object. I believe that the problem must be a problem of
complexity and it is just that the mind is much better at dealing with
complicated systems of possibilities than any computer program. A young child
first learns that certain objects are called chairs, and that the furniture
objects that he sits on are mostly chairs. In a few cases, after seeing an odd
object that is used as a chair for the first time (like seeing an odd outdoor
chair that is fashioned from twisted pieces of wood) he might not know that it
is a chair, or upon reflection wonder if it is or not. And think of odd
furniture that appears and comes into fashion for a while and then disappears
(like the bean bag chair). The question for me is not what the smallest pieces
of visual information necessary to represent the range and diversity of kinds
of objects are, but how would these diverse examples be woven into highly
compressed and heavily cross-indexed pieces of knowledge that could be accessed
quickly and reliably, especially for the most common examples that the person
is familiar with.

Actually this is quite critical.
Defining a chair - which would agree with each instance of a chair in the
supplied image - is the way a chair should be defined and is the way the mind
processes it.
