Proposal of Pattern Recognition as a necessary and sufficient Principle to Cognitive Science

TL;DR

This paper advocates for Pattern Recognition as the fundamental principle of cognitive science, providing a formal definition to unify and advance the theoretical framework of the field.

Contribution

It introduces Pattern Recognition as a necessary and sufficient principle for cognitive science and offers a formal physical definition to address conceptual gaps.

Findings

Pattern Recognition is proposed as a core principle for cognitive science.

A formal physical definition of Pattern Recognition is provided.

The proposal aims to unify existing theories under a common framework.

Abstract

Despite the prevalence of the Computational Theory of Mind and the Connectionist Model, the establishing of the key principles of the Cognitive Science are still controversy and inconclusive. This paper proposes the concept of Pattern Recognition as Necessary and Sufficient Principle for a general cognitive science modeling, in a very ambitious scientific proposal. A formal physical definition of the pattern recognition concept is also proposed to solve many key conceptual gaps on the field.
