Language (natural and formal), vision, and music seem to share at best the following attributes: a hierarchical organization of constituents, recursivity, metaphor, the possibility of self-reference, ambiguity, and systematicity. Can we propose the existence of a general symbol system with instantiations in these three modes, or is the only commonality to be found at the level of such entities as cerebral columnar automata?}, number={4}, journal={AI Magazine}, author={McKevitt, Paul and Mulvihill, Conn and Nuallain, Sean O.}, year={2000}, month={Dec.}, pages={117} }
