Higher-Level Thinking
Summary
The process that humans use to learn the structure of objects, the features they have and how they relate to each other, is the same one used for higher level concepts such as history, democracy, and mathematics. The same mechanism can be applied to model complex ideas about humanity, mathematics or physics.

AI
Summary
The mechanism used to model physical objects can also be used to model conceptual objects like emotions and ideas, according to AI experts. This implies that we may be able to create AI that can understand and interact with these concepts in a more human-like way.
