The Soar Cognitive Architecture (John E. Laird, 2012)

“The variability and the adaptability of cognition comes from the knowledge that is encoded in a cognitive architecture.

Thus, a cognitive architecture provides the fixed processes and memories and their associated algorithms and data structures

to acquire, represent, and process knowledge about the environment and tasks for moment-to-moment reasoning, problem solving, and goal-oriented behavior.

This leads to a simple equation: architecture + knowledge = behavior. (…)

An environment, though it may be complex and dynamic, is not arbitrary.

The laws of interaction that govern the environment are constant, often are predictable, and lead to recurrence and regularity that affect the agent’s ability to achieve its goals.

There are different regularities at different time scales, which makes it possible and useful to organize knowledge about tasks, actions, and the environment hierarchically. (…)

Computation resources are limited so that an agent cannot perform arbitrary computation in the time it has available to respond to the dynamics of the environment.

Thus, an agent has bounded rationality and cannot achieve perfect rationality (or universal intelligence) in sufficiently complex environments and tasks when it has a large body of knowledge. (…)

Thus, to preserve reactivity, a cognitive architecture must constrain the types of knowledge that can be encoded and or the types of queries that can be made.

The architecture can include fixed methods for organizing its knowledge so that it can be searched quickly (relative to overall temporal scale of the agent),

possibly in bounded time, using data structures such as hash tables, heaps, or trees that avoid the exponential explosion inherent to problem-space search.”

Can you do a type contrast between ISFJ and ISTP using characters as an example? I figure the two types would be quite different.

They use Fe quite differently, as you might imagine.

Think about Prim and Haymitch from The Hunger Games.

As a high Fe / feeler, Prim genuinely cares about people and their needs and their emotional state. She is more effective than her sister at figuring out people’s emotional motives and helping them through them, and has chosen a profession for herself which enables her to directly assist people in a tangible way. She is quiet, thoughtful, insightful, and hard-working, with a tender heart. She loves all creatures, even her mangy old cat. Prim excels in one specific thing (medicine) and has become very good at it through repeated usage of / interest in it (Si finding a favorite niche, unique to themselves).

Haymitch approaches Fe in an analytical, detached way -- he uses it purely to gain sponsorships and ensure his own and Katniss’ survival, reminding her she must be ‘likable’ in order to gain sympathy from the audience. This illustrates the difference between the genuine concern of high Fe and using it to an advantage, to support a logical conclusion (she needs sponsors, they must learn to like her, ergo -- be flattering and appealing to get what you want -- something Katniss as an ISTJ doesn’t understand, because to her, it’s insincere). He did whatever he had to in the arena to survive, he has no specific way he approaches life (winging it and thinking the kids will have no choice but to do so, in the arena), and he longs for freedom from constraints. He’s opportunistic (Se) not studied (Si).

I’ll represent you in court :)

Im kinda afraid to ask but... jace loving cells?

oh someone sent the full quote to me hang on a sec

hi, Charity! I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to you because a year or two ago I got into cognitive functions and typed myself as an INFP 4w5 after some reading. However, going through your WordPress pages (as well as learning that Nines have a tendency to mistype) has me rethinking some things, and I’d be curious about your observations if you have the time/inclination to share them… [deleted]

9 is a type rather like 6 and 3, in that it is universally misunderstood, and all three of them present differently in a person depending on their stacking, their fixes, and their MBTI type. Some 9s report never feeling angry, and some tell me they are infuriated almost all the time. So, some 9s are more aware of their anger, and others are not.

I guess the question for you would be – if you had to sacrifice being “me” in order to keep the peace in a relationship (put aside yourself), would/could you do it relatively easily? That suggests a 9 desire to stay calm and be at peace with yourself (avoiding inward and outer conflict) would outrank the desire to be “true to oneself.”

I get asked about 4-9 vs. 9-4 a lot, and for the latter, I usually point to Rose in Titanic as an example of a 4-9. She is STILL primarily all emotion (“I don’t know what this is, but I trust it… and I’m getting off this boat with you”), she has a tendency to view herself as superior to others (“the difference between Cal and my taste in art is I have some”), she is angry at not being allowed to be true to herself, and given the chance to do so, she embraces it happily. I have the feeling a lot of 4 cores would understand her completely, whereas a lot of 9 cores would “sort of” get her desire to be fully true to herself but also find her melodramatic. She often causes trouble with passive-aggressive behaviors (insulting Mr. Ismay at lunch and embarrassing Cal after he puts out her cigarette, for example) as a 4-9 that a 9-4 might avoid out of their lack of a desire to break a connection to the people around them.

For a 9-4, I’d look at Faramir from The Lord of the Rings. Gentle, peaceful, kind (as 9 cores tend to be), but still very wounded by his failures, prone to melancholic depression, internalizes criticisms deeply, out of his lower 4ish sense of being the “unwanted, unloved son” who must prove himself – but his 9w1 often chooses what is “right” (releasing Frodo) over what he feels. He’s a gut type, thus he goes off his instincts and his emotional responses are secondary. Less elitism, less desire to provoke trouble, less desire to assert himself, very 9ish in his need to maintain the peace. But he is by no means “weak.”

You sound more 9-4 to me than the reverse, just from what you wrote. As for whether you are an ENFP or not… a 9-core INFP is far more tolerant and permissive and open-minded (because 9s automatically see “all sides” / hearing an argument makes them nod and go “that’s fair too”) than other INFPs, due to the nature of 9 being fluid. So if you factor that in and still can’t decide, I’d ask yourself what you are more comfortable with using for hours at a time – Te or Si, and whether you can shut down your Fi to make a hard decision. ENFPs find that far easier than INFPs.

when it comes to consciousness raising you can spend time telling someone “crazy” is a slur or you can spend time explaining that what looks like “care” or “cure” or “mercy” to them is actually eugenics or abuse. one of these projects has to precede the other and i bet you can guess which one i would prioritize

Wonderful metaphor.

Speaking of ENP reacting quickly to information is that more of an ENP thing or would the other extroverts do this as well? Recently my mother made the observation that I absorb information so fast she doesn’t know how I do it . I react first and sort it out later. She sorts it out then reacts generally speaking. Is that extrovert vs introvert?

All the extroverts react faster than the introverts, according to their dominant function -- either with absorbing information (EP) or judging it (EJ) -- because there is no “self-blockage” / isolation from the flow of the outer world. Think of it as standing in the middle of the river and feeling it wash over you (E), as opposed to standing on the shore and staring at it (I).
