This is not from Newell and Simon [1963]. That paper doesn't talk about a Physical symbol system (as the article implies). The quote does appear in Herbert A Simon, "The Sciences of the Artificial", 3rd edition, 1996, p 23. That book says that a physical symbol system is from Newell and Simon "Computer Science as an Empirical Inquiry", p 116. But I don't have this, so I won't edit the article. But someone should check it.

No (they are not all Jewish) and yes (that was an anti-semitic impression) ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 16:46, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will (eventually) fill in the empty sections. I'm caught up in updates to Artificial intelligence, Timeline of AI and History of AI, which are going to take me some time. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 16:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
