The Rule-Following Assumption
Humans, like machines, behave intelligently by following rules, which can, in principle, be spelled out as explicit if-then statements.
Notes:
- Also see the "Do connectionist networks follow rules" arguments on Map 5.
- Because heuristic searches are sometimes described in terms of "heuristic rules", the "Does mental processing rely on heuristic?" arguments on this map are relevant to this region.
