Marvin Minsky views the human mind and any other naturally evolved cognitive systems as a vast society of simple processes known as agents, intimately linked with the structure and functioning of the brain. These processes are the fundamental thinking entities from which minds are built, and together produce the many abilities we attribute to minds. Different agents can be based on different types of processes with different purposes, ways of representing knowledge, and methods for producing results. Howard Gardner maintains a similar view, with his multiple intelligences.
