What is Symbolic Knowledge Structures and Intuitive Knowledge Structures about?

This paper proposes that two distinct types of structures are present in the brain: Symbolic Knowledge Structures (SKSs), used for formal symbolic reasoning, and Intuitive Knowledge Structures (IKSs), used for drawing informal associations. The paper contains ideas for modeling and analyzing these structures in an algorithmic style based on Spiking Neural Networks, following the paradigm used in earlier work by Lynch, Musco, Parter, and co-workers. The paper also contains two examples of use of these structures, involving counting through a memorized sequence, and understanding simple stylized sentences. The ideas presented here are preliminary and speculative, and do not (yet) comprise a complete, coherent, algorithmic theory. I hope that posting this preliminary version will help the ideas to evolve into such a theory.
