This is not so different from Marvin Minsky’s Society of Mind theory, which holds that mind is a collection of agents, each one taking care of a particular aspect of intelligence, and communicati

r qualitative differences. It's true that an individual human mind may be viewed as a collective, both from a theory-of- cognition perspective (e.g. Minsky's "society of mind" theory IMM88I) and from a personality- psychology perspective (e.g. the theory of subpersonalities Illow901). And it's true that

In this sense, Hard Gatekeeping produces a decisive change in our po

ons of a human mind,” Hillis wrote at the start of his PhD thesis a few years later. “A thinking machine.”188 What Hillis and others like his mentor Marvin Minsky, realized was that the human brain works differently than machine logic. Life, after all, is not a series of linear math problems. (Much as we might
