Azamat and Jeff,    (06)

Both of you agree that categorization is essential.  The difference is that 
Jeff says its fundamental, and Azamat says its higher.    (07)

I would not attempt to distinguish higher and lower mental functions without a 
great deal of psychological and neurological evidence.    (08)

But I would say that classification is so widely used in everything from 
recognition to reasoning that it would be hard to find anything more primitive.    (09)

Following is an article that I wrote about categorization from the point of 
view of logic, philosophy, and AI:    (010)

cognitive functions involved in language:    (012)
