Investigations into Iconic Representations of Combinators

Various properties of two bracket abstraction algorithms, previously introduced, are discussed and some of them are proved in this paper. Algorithm (L) is uni-variate and uses yes-no representations, whereas algorithm (M) is multi-variate and uses array representations. It is shown that (a) both algorithms are structure-preserving, (b) there is a straightforward connection between [x] P and [x]...

Hybrid Reasoning and the Future of Iconic Representations

We give a brief overview of the main characteristics of diagrammatic reasoning, analyze a case of human reasoning in a mastermind game, and explain why hybrid representation systems (HRS) are particularly attractive and promising for AGI and Computer Science in general.
