Springer Functional Models of Cognition - Theory and Decision Library

Explore the complex relationship between language, ontology, and cognitive systems in Functional Models of Cognition. Published by Springer as part of the Theory and Decision Library A, this work examines how our grammar and ontology serve as ineliminable parts of our conceptual contribution to understanding the world. Drawing on ideas from Quine, the text explores the necessity of constructing specific languages to define entities, individuals, and events. It investigates how we understand our world by regimenting systems in consistent and adequate ways. Readers will examine the standard forms of regimented language, including proper nouns and existence functions, and the complementary apparatus required to speak about these entities. This volume provides a deep look into the semantic structures and self-organizing dynamics that define cognitive systems within the realm of computer science and AI research.
