In fact, pages 240-241 of The Society of Mind suggests that our brains use blink-comparators at various levels in the brain. The idea is that by 'blinking" ...
Well can I disagree here? If your heuristic is universal then you would have a general problem solver below, but I think there may be more principled ways? ......
