“…However, Schneider ( 2024 ) shows that if the Navigation Module is duplicated into Navigation Module A and Navigation Module B, as shown in Figure 5 , then compositionality and compositional language readily emerge from this CCA6 version of the architecture.…”

“…Above, it was shown how, with the duplication of the navigation modules, compositional abilities can readily emerge. This is discussed in more detail in Schneider ( 2024 ), including the emergence of language.…”

“…Thus, the millions of neocortical minicolumns are modeled in the Causal Cognitive Architecture as millions of navigation maps. As noted above, using this postulation, it has been possible to show the emergence of causal reasoning, analogical reasoning, and compositionality from a brain based on such navigation maps [Schneider, 2022a , 2023 , 2024 ; Albeit, not rigidly replicating the mammalian brain, but at a more functionalist system as per Lieto ( 2021b )].…”

“…The Causal Cognitive Architecture (Schneider, 2023 , 2024 ) is a brain-inspired cognitive architecture (BICA). It is hypothesized that the navigation circuits in the amniotic ancestors of mammals duplicated many times to eventually form the neocortex (Rakic, 2009 ; Butler et al, 2011 ; Chakraborty and Jarvis, 2015 ; Fournier et al, 2015 ; Kaas, 2019 ; Güntürkün et al, 2021 ; Burmeister, 2022 ).…”

“…This is advantageous for the perception of noisy, imperfect sensory inputs. In the prior literature, it has been shown how, by enhancing some of these feedback pathways, causal reasoning, analogical inductive reasoning, and compositional language readily emerge from the architecture (Schneider, 2023 , 2024 ). The mechanisms behind these emergent properties are discussed in more detail below.…”

The Causal Cognitive Architecture is a brain-inspired cognitive architecture developed from the hypothesis that the navigation circuits in the ancestors of mammals duplicated to eventually form the neocortex. Thus, millions of neocortical minicolumns are functionally modeled in the architecture as millions of “navigation maps.” An investigation of a cognitive architecture based on these navigation maps has previously shown that modest changes in the architecture allow the ready emergence of human cognitive abilities such as grounded, full causal decision-making, full analogical reasoning, and near-full compositional language abilities. In this study, additional biologically plausible modest changes to the architecture are considered and show the emergence of super-human planning abilities. The architecture should be considered as a viable alternative pathway toward the development of more advanced artificial intelligence, as well as to give insight into the emergence of natural human intelligence.
