Can we describe the mind as a society of agents?
Marvin Minsky has written a book about the topic, and
Steven Pinker speculates about it in "How the Mind
works". How would the basic emotions we pain/displeasure
and joy/pleasure look like? How does self-consciousness
fit into this picture?

I have collected some humble thoughts on this
sfcomplex Wiki page, and would like to
invite you to join this discussion at
