Part 6/11:
The critique points out that human cognition largely depends on metaphor, hyponyms, transduction, and semantic abstraction. These processes allow humans to transfer insights across domains—language, social reasoning, physics, and more. Solving pattern puzzles in a constrained visual space does not demonstrate these higher-order skills.
Moreover, the brain's architecture is unlike the straightforward, rule-based systems presumed by the test. Instead of mathematical models, the brain employs particle filter approaches—akin to a probabilistic, guess-and-check framework—especially in noisy, unpredictable environments. This makes the test’s strict mathematical framing inadequate for capturing the flexibility and efficiency of real intelligence.
