The Semantic Gap ThereisasetofrecurrentproblemsinAIandneurosciencewhichhaverestricted their progress from the foundation times of cybernetics and bionics.
These pr- lems have to do with the enormous semantic leap that exists between the ont- ogy of physical signals and that of meanings.
Between physiologyand cognition.
Between natural languageand computer hardware.
We encounter this gap when we want to formulate computationally the cognitive processes associated with reasoning, planning andthe controlofactionand, infact, allthe phenomenology associated with thought and language.
All "bio-inspired" and "interplay" movement between the natural and ar-?cial, into which our workshop (IWINAC)?ts, faces this same problem every two years
We know how to model and reproduce those biological processes that areassociatedwith measurablephysicalmagnitudes and, consequently, we know howto designandbuild robotsthatimitate the correspondingbehaviors. Onthe other hand, we have enormous di?culties in understanding, modeling, formal- ing and implementing all the phenomenology associatedwith the cognition?eld.
We do not know the language of thought.
We mask our ignorance of conscience with the term emergentism.
