" "[C]ausal models can be weakly deterministic, basically associative models, which tell you if this state [S<sub>1</sub>] happens, it is quite probable that this one [S<sub>2</sub>] comes afterwards. Or you can get to a strongly determined model... one which tells you, if you are in this state [S<sub>1</sub>], and this condition [c<sub>1</sub>] is met, you're going to go exactly in this state [S<sub>2</sub>]. If this state is not met, or a different condition [c<sub>2</sub>] is met, you go into this state [S<sub>3</sub>]. And this is what we call an algorithm. Now you're in the domain of computation.

About Joscha Bach
, also known as “the wizard of consciousness”(born 1973 in Weimar, Germany) is a cognitive scientist focusing on cognitive architectures, models of mental representation, emotion, motivation and sociality. Achievements include research in novel data compression algorithm using concurrent entropy models; development of microPsi cognitive architecture for modeling emotion, motivation, mental representation. In 2000, Bach graduated with a diploma in Computer Science from Berlin, followed by a Doctor of Philosophy at Osnabrück University, Germany, in 2006. Before joining , he worked as a visiting researcher at the and the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. Fact finding reports by the and found that Bach’s research was supported with more than $150,000 by the Foundation.

Additional quotes by Joscha Bach
Early AI systems tended to constrain themselves to micro-domains that could be sufficiently described using simple ontologies and binary predicate logics, or restricted themselves to hand-coded ontologies altogether. ...AI systems will probably have to be perceptual symbol systems, as opposed to amodal symbol systems...
In cognitive science, we currently have two major families of architectures... One, the classical school... characterized as Fodorian Architectures, as... the manipulation of a language of thought, usually expressed as a set of rules and capable of . ...The other family favors distributed approaches and constrains a dynamic system with potentially astronomically many until... behaviors [of] general intelligence are left. This may seem more "natural" and well-tuned... Yet many functional aspects of intelligence... as planning and language, are... much harder to depict using the dynamical systems approach.
