Concerning a General Framework for the Development of Intelligent Systems

There exists on-going debate between Connectionism and Symbolism as to the nature of and approaches to cognition. Many viewpoints exist and various issues seen as important have been raised. This paper suggests that a combination of these methodologies will lead to a better overall model. The paper reviews and assimilates the opinions and viewpoints of these diverse fields and provides a cohesive list of issues thought to be critical to the modeling of intelligence. Further, this list results in a framework for the development of a general, unified theory of cognition.
