Induction: Processes of Inference, Learning, and Discovery

In my opinion, verything is wrapped in superflous language that acts as filler, while not getting the point across. It’s very inaccessible and feels like the authors were trying to write a book and couldn’t find the words to express their ideas.

I wish I had read this book years ago. It help in my quest (research) to understand the Recognition process.

This book should be 'the bible' for everyone involved in knowledge management processes. Holland, as one of the complexity theory founders, decribes the essentials of how complex adaptive rules, in relation to the variability of the environment, determine knowledge dynamics and learning capabilities.Key message of the book is the way that processes of induction, both cognitive and subcognitive, determine rule making, rule adaptation and environment modeling.With this work Holland (et al.) was the first to close the gap between cognition, complex adaptive systems and knowledge processing. He also provides a sound computational base for the theories presented, opening possibilities for implementation of 'the induction theory' in real world applications.
