Proposal of Pattern Recognition as a necessary and sufficient Principle   to Cognitive Science
  Despite the prevalence of the Computational Theory of Mind and the Connectionist Model, the establishing of the key principles of the Cognitive Science are still controversy and inconclusive. This paper proposes the concept of Pattern Recognition as Necessary and Sufficient Principle for a general cognitive science modeling, in a very ambitious scientific proposal. A formal physical definition of the pattern recognition concept is also proposed to solve many key conceptual gaps on the field.
