The Input, Coherence, Generativity (ICG) Factors : Towards a Model of Cognitive Informativity Measures for Productive Cognitive Systems

Abstract

Classical thinking on information and informatively considers the informee as a perfect information receiver. However, when studying productive natural and artiLcial cognitive systems, cognitively based models of informativity need to be formulated. Three factors relevant to cognitive informativity measures are proposed: Input, Coherence and Generativity (ICG). These factors take into account the type of Input which can be stored, the Coherence of the system after acquiring the information, and the Generativity of the system after the new information was integrated.
