The Duality Problem of Intellectual Activity

The starting point of the systemic research under consideration is the hypothesis of distinguishing duality in general - human mental activity. The essence of the problem is that in mental activity as a whole, a distinction is made between artificial and natural intelligence or practical and theoretical thinking. Practical thinking is put in correspondence with the natural intellect, which, being a product of nature, operates with unknown primitives of communication, which are based on certain laws of the universe to create matter. When conducting research, theoretical thinking operates with artificially created primitives, which are based on the properties of existing matter, including natural intelligence itself. The report formulates at the conceptual level the idea (concept) of creating a universal or unified primitive for natural and artificial intelligence in the form of an act of organizing the dynamic process of forming a connection. The task of formalizing the process of heuristic thinking is posed.
