A book with a few hundred essays on modelling the mind at the hardware level. It's not directly ERE relevant but it may inspire thoughts about new models of complex behavior/structure/understanding for those who are into that.
Society of The Mind
Re: Society of The Mind
Minskey's work should prove helpful for Volution. Here is a pdf version: http://www.acad.bg/ebook/ml/Society%20of%20Mind.pdf
He also has some lectures on YT and another book "The Emotion Machine" which he says is more of a top-down approach that complements the bottom-up approach in Society of Mind. His style strikes me as more hacker-like which is different than the generally more academic style in cognitive science. Thus his work falls more into the behavioral simulation quadrant with respect to the chart here: viewtopic.php?p=263630#p263630
I suspect this tension between hacking intelligence and understanding intelligence academically will be fruitful. The hackers are looking to build a machine that acts like us in every way without actually "experiencing" like us. Whereas the academics are looking to explain every component of biological machines while lacking unification. Together the machines may help to clarify and explain their own unification every step of the way in the language of cognitive science. Meanwhile the process philosophers and psychonauts provide some grease to prevent the machine project from getting stuck.
