Abstract. There are many examples of intelligent and learning systems that are based either on the connectionist or the symbolic approach. Although the latter can be successfully combined with statistical learning to create a hybrid system, it is not so clear how symbolic processing can emerge from a connectionst system. Human mind is a living proof that such a transition must be possible. Inspired by biological cognition, our project explores the ways symbolic processing can emerge in a system of neural cell
