Abstract

We consider the Distributed Cognition paradigm as a framework for implementing artificial components of human cognition. We take email/internet search as a setting of distributed cognition and describe an algorithm that intervenes and enhances a component of this distributed process. Results are presented demonstrating the effectiveness of the algorithm in interaction with an automaton simulating human search activity. We define a notion of synchronization with a non-random, non-Turing computation and argue that the given algorithm exhibits such synchronization behavior. Our results suggest that the framework may be useful for studying a class of non-Turing computation that is central to General Intelligence.
