THE MENTAL MAP. “Mounds and termite colonies at first seem to be an unusual context for a cognitive system to operate. Nevertheless, they arguably meet the requirement. Cognitive systems are fundamentally representation systems: they map an environment onto some interpretable (mental) representation. In conventional cognitive systems, i.e. those that are housed in brains within discrete bodies, sensory transducers encode information about the environment, communications links convey the code to processors which interpret the code and converse with other processors to arrive at a coherent representational map.”
