Symbolic Abstraction
Above the cognitive architecture
and its basic operating programs, there (usually)
exists a level that enables the system to store knowledge in some basic
framework. This level is due to symbolic abstraction, which is method
of representing relations to the
environment,
and hence knowledge, within the system.
Symbolic abstraction occurs at the
symbol level and derives its power
from the physical symbol system hypothesis. Thus,
symbolic abstraction enables
some methods of planning
and possibly learning.
