    what is understanding but encoded meaning distilled into pure structure, in both cases a property of a pattern? No need to gatekeep the word "understanding" behind subjective human experience eg qualia.

      > No need to gatekeep the word "understanding" behind subjective human experience eg qualia. Yea, I think gatekeeping is needed exactly for the same reason. Make up another word if you want..

        If you make up a word, nobody will know what it means.

          All of these communication can be done without using such words. It would just appear less "magical". This is done is the guise of dumbing it down, but people sometimes take it quite literally, which is what the marketing wants anyway..
