....for this capability tend to be philosophical while the empirical work can only deal with simplified behavior or even fail to demonstrate its claims. For example, see the critique of: the Logic Theorist and GPS (Dietrich, 1990) AM and Eurisco (Dietrich, 1990; Ritchie and Hanna, 1984) and BACON (Chalmers et al., 1992; Dietrich, 1990; Grabiner, 1986) In contrast, the engineering approach had successes such as: MACSYMA, DENDRAL, R1 XCON, and others (Dietrich, 1990; Dym and Levitt, 1994; Tomiyama, 1994) The engineering viewpoint simply argues that computers can become effective engineering tools. There are no ....

....exactly the problem that perceptually grounded semantics is to address. And unlike some 10 years ago, when there was essentially no other game in (cognitive science) town than formalist semantics, currently there are a number of cognitive science projects such as those of Hofstadter et al. cf. [Chalmers et al. 1991; French and Hofstadter, 1991] Nenov (cf. Nenov and Dyer, 1988; Nenov, 1991] and Feldman et al. cf. Feldman et al. 1990; Weber and Stolcke, 1990] that try to tackle the issue of Whence Perceptual Meaning 1 . Furthermore such projects use undeniably scientific tools such as ....
....an uninterrupted history. p.256) The current work is (to an extent) in affinity with that proposal. ing projects need to restrict the domain which is to constitute the world for their systems, bringing back the currently unfashionable in AI notion of micro worlds . The hope, as expressed in [Chalmers et al. 1991] quite clearly, is that: While microdomains may superficially seem less impressive, the fact that they are explicitly idealized worlds allows the issues under study to be thrown into clear relief something that generally speaking is not possible in a full scale real world problem. Once we ....
