Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the n-dimensional projective approach as a hierarchical and modular architecture with a processing mechanism that underlies both spatial backtracking and multiple physical properties of entities. Also, it is shown in Euclidean space how cognitive activities of an agent are improved in terms of flexibility (e.g. alternative solutions), reliability (e.g. error recovery) and performance using this approach
