Scale-free architectures support representational diversity

Behav Brain Sci. 2020 Jun 19:43:e133. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X19002966.

Abstract

Gilead et al. propose an ontology of abstract representations based on folk-psychological conceptions of cognitive architecture. There is, however, no evidence that the experience of cognition reveals the architecture of cognition. Scale-free architectural models propose that cognition has the same computational architecture from sub-cellular to whole-organism scales. This scale-free architecture supports representations with diverse functions and levels of abstraction.
