Laird is from the #AllenNewell school of #UnifiedTheoriesOfCognition
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Theories_of_Cognition
Allen famously stated "You can't play 20 questions with nature and win!".
https://mindhacks.com/2015/02/10/you-cant-play-20-questions-with-nature-and-win/. We can't implement cognitive capabilities - vision, NLP, planning, RL - separately and claim to understand human intelligence. Human brain does all of this in a single #architecture.
#Soar is Laird's approach to that challenge - how do we build a #CognitiveArchitecture
