104 5 A Generic Architecture of Human-Like Cognition left as implicit emergent phenomena. For instance, creativity is obviously very important to intelligence, but, there is no "creativity" box in any of these diagrams — because in our view, and the view of the cognitive theorists whose work we’ve directly drawn on here, creativity is best viewed as a process emergent from other processes that are explicitly included in the diagrams. 5.4 Interpretation and Application of the Integrative Diagram A tongue-partly-in-cheek definition of a biological pathway is "a subnetwork of a biological network, that fits on a single journal page." Cognitive architecture diagrams have a similar property — they are crude abstractions of complex structures and dynamics, sculpted in ac- cordance with the size of the printed page, and the tolerance of the human eye for absorbing diagrams, and the tolerance of the human author for making diagrams. However, sometimes constraints — even arbitrary ones — are useful for guiding creative ef- forts, due to the fact that they force choices. Creating an architecture for human-like general intelligence that fits in a few (okay, seven) fairly compact diagrams, requires one to make many choices about what features and relationships are most essential. In constructing the integrative diagram, we have sought to make these choices, not purely according to our own tastes in cog- nitive theory or AGI system design, but according to a sort of blend of the taste and judgment of a number of scientists whose views we respect, and who seem to have fairly compatible, complementary perspectives. What is the use of a cognitive architecture diagram like this? It can help to give newcomers to the field a basic idea about what is known and suspected about the nature of human-like general intelligence. Also, it could potentially be used as a tool for cross-correlating different AGI architectures. If everyone who authored an AGI architecture would explain how the
