Aristotle’s core conception of abstraction ( Open image in new window ) is: selective attention . Although he at times uses ‘abstraction’ in the sense of ‘subtraction ’ of the Greek mathematicians, Aristotle extends the use to other cases where certain aspects of an object are focused upon and selected out. Aristotle then allows for these aspects to be

Abstracting Visual Percepts to Learn Concepts
2002To efficiently identify properties from its environment is an essential ability of a mobile robot who needs to interact with humans. Successful approaches to provide robots with such ability are based on ad-hoc perceptual representation provided by AI designers.

Contexts and concepts, abstraction duals
1994In the theory of conceptual graphs [1], it is not clear how a concept, with a referent that is a graph, differs from a context containing the same graph. In a previous paper, ”Contexts as White Box Concepts” [3], the author began exploring the relationship of contexts and concepts in the theory of conceptual graphs. It pointed out a strong relationship

The Challenges of Abstract Concepts
2021Some have recently suggested that abstract concepts do not constitute a substantial challenge to embodied cognition because they do not form a unified category. In this chapter, I argue that abstract concepts are indeed heterogeneous but as such pose several distinct theoretical challenges.

Discovery of Abstract Concepts by a Robot
2010This paper reviews experiments with an approach to discovery through robot's experimentation in its environment. In addition to discovering laws that enable predictions, we are particularly interested in the mechanisms that enable the discovery of abstract concepts that are not explicitly observable in the measured data, such as the notions of a tool ...

Concepts of the Atoka: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1963The Atoka was named and defined as the formation between the Hartshorne Sandstone above and the Wapanucka Limestone below (1900, 1901). The basal part of the Atoka is considered by some to correspond with the Kessler Member of the Morrow. Minute fusiform fusulinids are known from the basal Atoka at Clarita, Oklahoma; and it is commonly believed that ...

THE ABSTRACT CONCEPT OF ENVIRONMENT
International Journal of General Systems, 1981The concept of environment is discussed in its abstract form within the general systems framework. The environment of a system can be progressively specified in a logical sequence from the primitive concept of "everything that is not the system" through the concepts of substantial environment, of another system that influences the system under ...

Perspectives on Abstract Concepts
2019Human language is the most powerful communication system that evolution has produced. Within this system, we can talk about things we can physically see, such as cats and tables, but also about more abstract entities, such as theories and feelings. But how are these abstract concepts grounded in human cognition and represented in the mind? How are they

The Concept of an Abstract Field
2018In this chapter, we look at three aspects of the theory of abstract fields: the discovery that all finite fields are ‘Galois’ fields; Dedekind’s presentation of the ‘Galois correspondence’ between groups and field extensions; and the emergence of the concept of an abstract field.
