Applying Grammar Rules
- Once a grammar rule has been recognised, it needs to be
applied.
- This means that CAs need to do more than just categorise.
They are computational primitives
- When a grammar rule is applied it has to bind the parts
together, add some information to working memory, perhaps
remove some information, and perhaps create a new long term
memory.
- Variable Binding is important in general because it allows
combining CAs temporarily. (You can imagine a CA for each animal
and one for each colour but not one for each animal colour pair.)
- CAs might bind things using pattern oscillations. This might
solve the variable binding problem. (There is some neuro-physiological
and some modelling evidence.)
- Temporary memory is merely active CAs.
