—a testament to the extraordinary power of human intelligence. This notion of intelligence as successful narrative prediction is very close to the definition proposed by Jeff Hawkins, the Palm Pilot inventor turned neuroscientist. In his book, On Intelligence, Hawkins argues that intelligence consists of two features: memory and prediction. Most of the

invented. How our prefrontal cortex allows us to perform these mental actions is still a mystery. It might simply be a question of scale. In Jeff Hawkins’s view, intelligence is a direct result of the expanded human neocortex increasing the memory and predictive abilities of early humans. According to Hawkins, “We

thought, to imagine counterfactual situations, to come up with new heuristics individually and collaboratively, and to predict the consequences, is uniquely human. This is precisely Jeff Hawkins’s memory/prediction model of chapter 4. When Simon first proposed satisficing six decades ago, his colleagues thought it was silly and naïve. With the

in hierarchies. I discuss below the intellectual roots of this idea, including my own work with hierarchical pattern recognition in the 1980s and 1990s and Jeff Hawkins (born in 1957) and Dileep George’s (born in 1977) model of the neocortex in the early 2000s.
