The Conscious Organization

Attention mechanisms mean a type of consciousness.

  • We know how to program priorities.
  • We know how to learn them too.
Now we have something like Minsky's "Society of Minds", where some agents are people.
 Now the organization is adaptive: it's generating process "on-the-fly" and
prioritizing its responses (us) in response to changing conditions.
 Now the organization (as well as the people) can be innovative.
