Abstract
Shanahan expounds upon a creative and bold possibility, that concepts from dynamics and networks can be applied to Baars' [1988] global workspace architecture to explain fundamental biological and psychological phenomena. Shanahan proposes that the connective core is critical to cognitive and neuroscience. This review proposes to study the surrounding space of possible designs more systematically, with particular attention to purposive agency requirements and design assumptions which might resist the quantitative reduction Shanahan has attempted.
