Watching children might be a way to see how mind-societies grow. Minsky takes as example Piaget's "conservation of quantity" experiments. "In the next few sections we'll examine the idea of `more' and show that it conceals the workings of a large, complex Society-of-MOre -- which takes many years to learn."
(Q: So, now is Minsky going to show us how his approach can account for an interesting empirical phenomenon?)
