Dear Editors, Please consider our manuscript, “A survey of neurosymbolic artificial intelligence: foundations, advances, and future trajectories”, for publication in Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence as a Survey submission. We believe it fits the journal's scope and will be valuable to its readership because it provides evidence-aware coverage of a fast-growing and fragmented neurosymbolic landscape, with an interface-centric, evidence-tagged framework for comparing approaches and their evaluation trade-offs in deployable hybrid systems. The survey focuses on 2020–2025 (with foundational anchors for historical context) and organizes the literature around four recurring themes that align with the journal: performance, understandability, reliability, and ethics. Beyond narrative coverage, we (i) enforce a strict boundary for what counts as neurosymbolic evidence (explicit symbolic representations with defined operators must participate directly in training/inference), avoiding conflation with tool augmentation; (ii) provide an interface-centric synthesis mapped to system functions (perception, knowledge, reasoning, planning/control, oversight), with representative benchmarks and measures; (iii) consolidate how papers evaluate each theme in practice, including commonly reported measures, benchmarks, and reproducibility signals (e.g., code/data availability and ablations when reported); and (iv) analyze recurring cross-theme system-design pitfalls (e.g., cost vs. guarantees; grounding vs. correctness). Our screening covered 912 consolidated records and includes 319 sources in the main compilation, aiming for balanced coverage and clear entry points for researchers, PhD students, and practitioners. This manuscript is original, has been approved by all authors, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Thank you for your time and consideration. Seize the day, Otto Mättas (Corresponding author)
