Abstract

We propose an extension in which core knowledge - innate, skeletal, and abstract cognitive representations - shape "super attractors." They shape our cognition and our communication with others. People choose actions based not only on what they feel is right but also on whether they think others will agree. We propose that universal priors shape the space of shared intuitions.
