How to Build Marcus's Algebraic Mind: From Minsky's Emotion-Machine Viewpoint
Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuka, Yoichi Sato
This paper reports a step that had already been taken. Marcus's three components of an adequate cognitive architecture -- variables, recursive structure, individuals vs kinds -- le…
How to Build Marcus's Algebraic Mind: From Thagard's Brain--Mind Viewpoint
Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuka, Yoichi Sato
This paper reports a convergence neither program was looking for. Marcus's The Algebraic Mind named three things any architecture needs -- operations over variables, recursive stru…
Institutions and the transmission of upper-tail human capital: scientific lineages across a millennium
Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuka, Yoichi Sato
What made useful knowledge cumulative was not discovery alone but the institutions that transmitted it. We provide the first exhaustive structural measurement of the network throug…
Beyond LLMs, Sparse Distributed Memory, and Neuromorphics <A Hyper-Dimensional SRAM-CAM "VaCoAl" for Ultra-High Speed, Ultra-Low Power, and Low Cost>
Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuka, Yoichi Sato
VaCoAl (Python: PyVaCoAl) attacks the Binding Problem algebraically rather than statistically: an SRAM/DRAM-CAM organised end-to-end around one primitive, XOR-and-shift over GF(2)…
Bridging Silicon and the Hippocampus: Algebro-Deterministic Memory "VaCoAl" as a Substrate for Vector-HaSH and TEM
Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuka, Yoichi Sato
Vector-HaSH and the Tolman-Eichenbaum Machine (TEM) propose the hippocampal-entorhinal circuit factorizes memory via a grid-cell scaffold for compositional replay. Concurrently, hu…
How to Build Marcus's Algebraic Mind: Algebro-Deterministic Substrate over Galois Fields
Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuk, Yoichi Sato
In The Algebraic Mind (2001), Marcus held that any adequate cognitive architecture needs operations over variables, recursively structured representations, and an individual/kind d…
