try to bring together connectionist and symbolist approaches to cognition
from the description of connectionist systems:
-"Indeed, the emergent behavior of agents that are dynamically coherent with their environments (embodied agents) is as much a result of the production rules of the agent as of the laws of the environment [Beer ,1995] [Clark ,1996] [Rocha and Joslyn ,1998]."
-Do current *intelligent* dynamical systems scale?
"What needs to be stressed here is that evolutionary systems require both dynamic and [genetic] memory components for selection.

"Li (1983) claims that \u27gene duplication is probably the most important mechanism for generating new genes and new biochemical processes that have facilitated the evolution of complex organisms from primitives ones\u27. Tautz (1992) argues that \u27redundancy of gene actions may [...] be a necessary
requirement for the development and evolution of complex life forms\u27 and in fact \u27redundancy seems to be widespread in genomes of higher organisms\u27 (Nowak 1997). In the neutral theory of molecular evolution (Kimura 1983), the duplication relaxes the selective constraints on one of the two copies allowing the accumulation of mutations leading to the emergence of a new function (Coissac, Maillier, and Netter 1997; see also Ohta 1989).
