I suppose. A lot of inference/deduction is subconscious.  The word "cat"
evokes a huge number of mental images, in a human.  I sketched the computer
equivalent of this in the other email -- "evoking an image" is actually an
exploration of a connected graph of factoids. We can quibble about whether
this is knowledge or memory or inference -- there are algorithmic
trade-offs.
