Our brain literally wants us to believe that a pen can pass through a window [1] (3:00). Ants, as a collective intelligence, are tricked by the Müller-Lyer illusion [2] [3]. Digital software is merely entering a realm of algorithmic (d)efficiency at least as old as biology, morphogenetic software: so long, be gone abstract truth table resilience unable to detect a shirt without stripes [4], welcome gradient exploration and error minimization able to give the synthetic mind, which, similarly to the carbon-based mind, will make ridiculous errors, just look at a child failing to walk [5].
