Symbolic Systems Forum - Carl Pabo, Bio-X Center

This seminar will consider strategies for synthesizing some of the multiple approaches that have been taken to the problems of understanding human thought. Dr. Pabo's current ideas - which will be discussed at greater length in his winter-term course - involve efforts to systematically "frame" different cognitive viewpoints that may be taken when approaching a problem, and also involve efforts to develop a simple "notation" that may help us keep track of these multiple viewpoints.
