● Paradigm 1: Competence emerges from a large number of relatively simple agents integrated by some cleverly engineered architecture. The choice of architecture is the make-or-break theoretical part of this; the detailed characteristics of the implementation of the architecture (and the algorithms that crawl around it) are the make-orbreak pragmatic parts. The archetype of this paradigm is SOAR [61; its forerunners were the early “pure production systems.”● Paradigm 2: Competence emerges from the aggregate system possessing a large amount of useful knowledge; for most real-world tasks, this includes a dauntingly large fraction of what might be termed “general common sense.” In this paradigm, the architecture is relatively unimportant, and building the system as a set of “agents” is little more than a form of scaffolding, reducing the cognitive load on the human builders. The archetype of this paradigm is Cyc …
