one does not need to know all of the wrong ways to go about something, to stumble upon one right way Consider a colony of ants, mapping a territory, for resource. The ants are busy – much resource is found, and consumed. Mapping and consumption continues. Resource fades, to aroma. The ants need more. After a while, a new ant, on a new path, stumbles upon substantive new resource....

“a map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness” - alfred korzybski, science and sanity, p. 58

an introduction

Cognition is a nexus phenomena, which results from the operational (mechanistic) alignment of plural biological phenomenal-scopes (levels) #tbc

More Is Different | Science More is different. But however we might interpret or perceive it, more is never completely different, nor absolutely different, nor infinitely different: more can only ever be relatively, finitely different. Necessarily. Approximately all universal phenomena are composed of simpler priors; and each distinct structural phenomenal composition manifests a unique behavioural profile when participating with causal peers. A causal peer is any other phenomena which 1. Shares one or more behavioural characteristics (and ultimately ancestral constituents/ priors) and 2....

composition back is down up from there #tbc

This project considers all phenomena (including minds, and understandings of minds) by commonality (and phenomenal relation), because : Irreconcilable maps of the same territory Make no sense Mischaracterises and misdirects individuals Which divides populations Where territory is continuous; maps ought to be continuable. By reconciling and reinterpreting maps by commonality (rather than distinctions, however precice), our understanding of all phenomena (including minds) better aligns with objective reality. #tbc BRB

“side-effects of cross-contextual de-duplication” de-duplication is sufficient to account for: Lateral thinking Re-contextualisation Generalisation Contextually, objectively, similar entry-point to common constituent Metaphor Contextually, objectively, dissimilar entry-point to common constituent Lateral, general, metaphorical problem-solving “interpretive contexts evolve to address a fundamental problem with abstract information (map): minimal-viable distinction” As map complexity (and lifecycle) evolves 1, and interpretation occurs across multiple interpretive contexts simultaneously, de-duplication also occurs across distinct interpretive contexts....

notes #tbc pre-cognition: Biology, senses, and cognition, evolved Senses evolved to detect patterns (relative arrangement) of stimuli by physical groupings of sensory receptors Patterns become persistable and composable Persisted composable patterns allow objective recognition of previously identified external phenomena By stitching together smaller patterns into larger arrangements (terrain, objects, etc), persisted composable patterns become larger than physical groupings of sensory receptors From this point, recognition is based upon matching sensory grouping to partial patterns of persisted representation Partial pattern matching allows Small physical groupings to match larger persisted representational compositions Establish objective sameness (to relate present location to known locations) De-duplicate representational arrangements (or parts thereof) Recognising partially obscured scenes, across different {moments; days; conditions; etc} And minimises resource requirements and latency ....

“minimal-viability is the inevitable outcome of evolutionary and operational constraints on survival” “prefer the simplest explanation; but for territory” Biology optimises for survival – we ought to consider the evolution of interpreted distinction, in terms of minimal-viability: “—what is the least amount of biological implementation (evolution) and information (operation) required to distinguish well?” The problem with “minimally-viable distinctions”, is knowing in advance “the space of all future circumstances” through which any minimally-viable distinction must remain distinct....

active draft: #tbc The moment we start persisting representation, and incrementally accruing detail, we need to care about coherence, sameness, and operational efficiency. Detect Persist Accrue Evaluate Consider the difference between a log-file, and a database. “note: pointing at structured data, rather than index 1” log file Log files are simplest persistence Partial Doesn’t consolidate Plural representation Can’t accrue and relate Which instance to augment?
