Peirce's Semiotics and General Intelligence

There is a natural evolution from the ideas that deep learning has empirical revealed to a theory of general intelligence. A common criticism of deep learning is its lack of good theory. Deep learning is like the supercolliders in high energy physics. It reveals the inner behavior of an artificial intuitive process. It reveals to us patterns of what does work. To build up that theory we must walk back into the ideas of past thinkers. Thinkers who have never seen the empirical evidence. What will they conclude about their ideas if they had been exposed to evidence in deep learning?
