This talk introduces reflections on the study of minds arising fro m a multi-decade career focused largely on cognitive architectures—hypothe ses concerning the fixed structures and processes that yield a mind\, whet her natural or artificial. Cognitive architectures must be integrative\, i n accommodating the full range of capabilities required of a mind. They al so must be general\, in applying across many\, if not all\, problems and d omains. This breadth of investigation\, across a sequence of three archite ctural lineages—Xaps\, Soar\, and Sigma—and over many years\, has inspired a set of recent reflections concerning: (1) key concepts critical to unde rstanding minds\, such as architectures\, symbols\, and intelligence\; (2) the structure of the space of technologies that underlies work on minds\, yielding both multi-dimensional maps of technologies and criterial tradeo ffs across them\; and (3) my decades of work on architectures\, along with key aspects of my life\, in the form of a personal intellectual memoir th at ultimately yields a set of maxims that align with a career\, and life\, dedicated to seeking insight into mind and its associated disciplines thr ough architectural exploration.\n DTSTART:20250924T150000Z DTEND:20250924T170000Z SUMMARY:MCCHE Precision Convergence Webinar Series with Paul Rosenbloom URL:/desautels/channels/event/mcche-precision-converge nce-webinar-series-paul-rosenbloom-367911 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
