Quotes

• “The techniques of the practitioner are usually called 'synthetic'. He designs by organizing known principles and devices into larger systems.”

• “Broadly stated, the task is to replace the global rationality of economic man with a kind of rational behavior that is compatible with the access to information and the computational capacities that are actually possessed by organisms, including man, in the kinds of environments in which such organisms exist.”
• “Over Christmas, Allen Newell and I created a thinking machine.”
