Without being a dualist, we can say from neurobiology, ecological psych, coord dynamics, neural reuse that meaning isn't simply upstream. Technically it can't be because of the language problem is post-hoc. You're an engineer

Words are merely wax fruit metaphors for meaning, they aren't meaningful in and of themselves. That's how dictionaries exist. Any reality understood from words is mere simulation.

The idea of meaning is contradictory, it's not strictly an illusion. There's a huge difference. State changes mean differences, they don't ensure meaning. This is an obvious criteria. We have tasks and the demands are variabl

Thought is wordless. It's made in action-spatial syntax. As these are the defined states of intelligence, this would have been a far better approach to emulate. Words and images are the equivalent of junk code. Semantics can;t be speci

There's much more meaning than can be loaded into statements, thoughts, etc. And conscious will is a post-hoc after effect. Any computer has far less access to the meaning load we experience since we don't compute thoughts, though

This was wonderful, thank you for posting, I learned so much.

Action patterns in syntax? They already exist, the binary chose to forgo that level emulation for arbitrary words, in arbitrary symbols, predicted, geometrically arranged in space as "meaning" as tokens. I'd suggest comp sci

We're probably post-narrative and post-lexical (words) but haven't become aware of what to possibly update these tools with. Post-truth is an abstraction rooted in the arbitrary. Reality is specific. Actions, materials. Words and

I think the best way would have been to assume thought is wordless (as the science tells us now), and images and probability (as symbols) are still arbitrary. That was the threshold to cross. Neither neurosymbolic, nor neuromorphic get ther

Was a mistake from the beginning to use language as the basis for tokens and embedded spaces between them to generate semantics. It wasn't thought out, it was a snowball trial and error that went out of control.

The effect is easy to grasp, we're moving away from Pleistocene communication technology, which is benchmarked in dated tools like reading, math, SAT/ACT scores. Human intelligence isn't going away, another form of expression
