Integrated Cognition: A Framework Proposal

A framework for organizing the many disparate capabilities required of synthetic cognitive systems is proposed as a basis for assessing the status of existing and proposed cognitive architectures and systems, as well as a measure of progress towards human-level machine intelligence. This framework divides the “ingredients” of cognition into six dimensions. Capabilities within these dimension are organized roughly according to increasing levels of capability. The cognitive dimensions and their capabilities are described here as the basis for assessments of existing architectures provided in a companion paper.
