Yes! What fun to read and I think you are pointing in a smarter direction. Memory as recursion and the key to step toward AGI. The trick is recursive self-control of attention while being battered by 1001 input streams. Perhaps better to think about “input” as interrupt requests that a “self” must evaluate and usually ignore to stay on tasks: Making all of those sandwiches! Bodies may be essential soon along with all of the hard knocks of selection as motivation to memorize, learn, adapt. Here is a great book that Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores read very carefully: “Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living” by Maturana and Valera (1980). This intense book is an axiomatic approach to life and cognition. Enactivist philosophers are now extending their original insights: 1: Terrence W. Deacon: Incomplete Nature 2. Evan Thompson: Mind in Life 3. Luis Favela: The Ecological Brain: Unifying the Sciences of Brain, Body, and Environment 4: Alva Noë: Out of Our Heads 5: Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores: Understanding Computers and Cognition 6: Douglas Hofstadter: I Am a Strange Loop Pretty sure that Demis Hassabis, Rich Sutton, and Karl J. Friston. Like Maturana and Valera, all three of them have strong backgrounds in neuroscience.
