1.1.4.  Components of Intelligence

In a complex intelligent system a number of relatively independent modules
will emerge as utilities to subserve the purpose of knowledge acquisition.
Chief among these are the faculties of memory and imagination, which operate
in closely coordinated representation spaces of the manifold, and may be no
more than complementary ways of managing the same turf.  These capacities
amplify the sensitivity and the selectivity of intelligence in the system.
They support the transcription of momentary experience into records of its
passing.  Finally, they collate the fragmentary notes and diverse notations
of dynamic experience and catalyze their conversion into unified forms and
organizations of rational knowledge.
