Domain aggregation doesn't give commonsense

Common sense can't be reconstructed by combining small, discrete domains of knowledge (as current representationalist models seek to do). An adequate theory of common sense must provide an account of context-dependent know-how.

Francisco Varela, Evan Thompson & Eleanor Rosch, 1991.
