Abstract

This paper describes the Monterège Cogitator, an advanced, original and powerful conceptual structure designed to describe the essential properties of learning.The elaboration of this structure introduces a methodological approach that uses abstract concepts in an expanded intuitive context, a theory of knowledge adapted to Control Systems and the definition and use of specialized automata to build complex abstract machines. From these components, the basic principles of model generation and the essential processes of learning are defined and integrated into a coherent learning system.The Monterège Cogitator is a learning engine which will eventually emulate the human intellect in the scope of learning. It is capable of making full use of parallel architectures. This work is part of ongoing research at Monterège design to define the fundamental structures of a digital intellect: the essential first step in building truly intelligent machines. An objective which can be attained within ten years.
